Brimfield State Forest, State forest and recreation area in Hampden County, Massachusetts, United States.
The 3,523-acre forest features Dean Pond Recreation Area with a 100-foot swimming beach, picnic facilities and accessible restrooms.
Established in 1924, the forest became part of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's network of protected natural areas.
The forest provides winter activities including cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, while maintaining designated trails for horseback riding events.
Visitors can access over 20 miles of roads and trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding throughout the four seasons.
A tornado in 2011 caused substantial changes to Dean Pond Recreation Area, leading to a two-year closure and subsequent renovation.
