Coolidge State Park

Coolidge State Park is a state forest reserve in Plymouth covering thousands of acres of mixed hardwood stands on sloping terrain. The property includes camping facilities with tent sites and shelter structures accessible from multiple entry roads.

The land was once cleared farmland with stone walls and building foundations before becoming a protected forest. During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built a work camp and developed most of the roads and facilities that visitors use today.

The park holds numerous stone walls and foundations that reveal its agricultural past, when the land was cleared and farmed before becoming a protected forest.

The park is open from late May through early October and provides tent sites and lean-to shelters for overnight stays. The entry roads and walking paths are accessible on foot, though the hillside terrain requires some climbing and physical effort.

An abandoned stone quarry sits at the junction of two entry roads where visitors can explore its features. Gold panning is permitted in certain water areas within the property.
