I Love loved my experience with the family at HOPKINTON STATE PARK. Its a 30 mins drive from where we live! Went on a Sunday! It wasn't extremely busy. The water was clean, serene, peaceful! A few families were having a BBQ picnic. Lots of grills. I could count over 30 in strategic safe distance places all over the lake. Place is well kept. Bring your own water. I didn't see any tour guides around ( probably because it was a holiday) Kids were dipping their foot in the water. People wore their masks and still had a good time! Im planning to explore at night time too. The signs show they close at 8pm. We Didn't pay any entrance fee! Probably because it was a holiday! I saw a boat rental. A family brought their private boat and had a nice ride on the lake! There's an amazing waterfalls,( small yet seemingly intentional) depending on your view. Its beautiful when you view it from the mountain. Great place for kids to runaround. Great place for dogs to exercise too. Great place for seniors to walk and exercise! My mom picked a stick from the trail and used ot as support to walk the rest of the hike. CON: We took the hikes to get to the beach/lake! The signs are too small. It could be made bigger for easy visibility! TIP: go with a fully charged phone! Open the map of the place on your phone so you can find your way back. If you have a tracking feature on your car link it to your phone so you can easily find your car! Bring a stroller along incase the little ones get tired of hiking. 2 entrances! The first one leading to the beach/ lake. Second entrance leads to the hiking trails. Cars are not allowed beyond a certain point. Good so kids can walk around freely! Con: The RESTROOMS was closed so beware( so be , not sure if its because it was a holiday! Thing is hwhen you're exhausted youll need your car a bit closer...lol. Have snacks to nibble on along the way! The trails are airy. My kids are looking forward to coming again so we might go there once or 2x a month God willing!

I've been here may times over the years and it really is a wonderful nursery. Lots of plans, shrubs and tress to chose from, knowledgeable and helpful staff. You can actually just wander around and it is like walking through a park.
