Bordering both Connecticut and Rhode Island, this popular 6,282-acre state forest offers a variety of recreational opportunities. Visitors can enjoy swimming, boating and fishing at Wallum Lake and hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling on miles of woodland trails. Facilities include two reservable pavilions, boat ramp, swimming beach, picnic area and restrooms.
The Midstate Trail, a long-distance hiking trail that extends through central Massachusetts from the Rhode Island border north to Mt. Watatic at the New Hampshire border, runs through the forest. Douglas State Forest also includes a rare example of Atlantic White Cedar swampland that is accessed via a boardwalk trail. A 5-acre portion of this swamp is designated as a Massachusetts Wildland.
Adjacent to a mowed field and close to the restrooms, a new pavilion has six 8' picnic tables with a 3' x 3' charcoal grill. The area of the field nearest the pavilion, can be used to set up a volleyball net (you bring) or other games. There is easy access to the beach. The CCC Pavilion was built about 75 years ago and offers four 10' picnic tables and a 3' x 3' charcoal grill. It is conveniently located at the bottom of our walkway from the parking lots.
Reservations can be made up to 4 Month(s) prior to your arrival date.
