Douglas State Forest, Protected forest in Douglas, Massachusetts, US
Douglas State Forest encompasses 5,907 acres of woodland terrain along the borders of Connecticut and Rhode Island, featuring extensive hiking trails and Wallum Lake.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation established Douglas State Forest in 1934 through the acquisition of 1,245 acres of natural woodland territory.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed essential infrastructure in the 1930s, including administrative buildings and water management systems that remain functional today.
The forest maintains designated areas for swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, with specific parking zones near main facilities.
A boardwalk trail leads visitors through an Atlantic white cedar swamp, while the Midstate Trail connects the forest to Mount Watatic in northern Massachusetts.
