Nickerson State Park
Nickerson State Park, State park and nature reserve in Brewster, Massachusetts, United States.
Nickerson State Park encompasses 1,900 acres of pine forest with eight freshwater kettle ponds scattered throughout the protected natural area.
The land became Massachusetts' first state park in 1934 following a donation from Addie Nickerson in memory of her husband Samuel and son Roland.
The park's amphitheater and interpretive programs connect visitors with local ecology through educational activities and community gatherings throughout the year.
The park maintains over 400 campsites for tents and RVs, plus eight miles of trails connecting to the Cape Cod Rail Trail system.
The park's kettle ponds, formed by glacial activity, depend entirely on groundwater and precipitation for their water levels.
