Leominster State Forest
Leominster State Forest, Nature reserve and state forest in Westminster, Massachusetts, US.
Leominster State Forest is a nature reserve spread across multiple Massachusetts towns, covering several thousand acres of woodland. The forest contains numerous ponds throughout its expanse, a network of trails for different activities, and elevated terrain that shapes the landscape.
The forest area once contained small settlements, notably Notown, which developed in the early 1700s as an unincorporated community. This settlement was absorbed into the surrounding towns during the early 1800s, leaving traces of its former existence in the landscape.
The Crow Hill ledges held significance for Native American groups who used them as shelter and vantage points for communication across the landscape. This heritage remains woven into how locals understand and interact with the forest today.
The forest remains accessible year-round with trails suitable for different abilities and interests, from casual walks to more challenging routes. Water bodies scattered throughout allow for swimming during warmer months, while winter conditions create opportunities for snow activities.
A long-distance hiking route passes through the forest, serving as a connection point between this forest and other protected lands across the state. The path attracts hikers undertaking multi-day journeys through Massachusetts.
