Cochituate State Park

Cochituate State Park encompasses three connected lakes spanning 872 acres with opportunities for water activities and hiking on trails throughout the year.

The protected landscape was established to safeguard natural resources and has evolved into a recreational destination under the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.

The South Lake section functions as a training ground for multiple local high school sailing teams from March through May each year.

Visitors can access boat rentals during summer months and utilize designated swimming areas, picnic spots, and parking facilities across the middle lake section.

The park features the Snake Brook Trail system, connecting different sections through channels under roadways while maintaining natural corridors for wildlife movement.
