| | Lake is not far at all from Springfield. Chicopee Country Club is a wonderful golf course nearby, and if you need a place to stay Howard Johnson Express - Springfield is a pleasant choice. Econo Lodge Chicopee is a perfect place to get some rest, and Lake Lookout is a nearby lake that you could stop at. Breckwood Lake is a wet place that gets a great deal of rain; through May this area sees the most rain while February is generally the driest month. All | |

through the summer highs here at Breckwood Lake get into the 80's. When the night sets in temperatures fall down into the 50's. The winter comes with highs in the 30's, and nighttime lows in the 0's for Breckwood Lake. Stay the night
at Sun Valley Camping Cooperative, and get soaked paddling on Farmington River. What a place this is for outdoors folks. If you get bored of Breckwood Lake, you could also go to close by Venture Pond, and if you're here, do take a trip to Dan Baker Cove.

Forest Lake
 | 15 miles away Firstly, Forest Lake does not offer any camping whatsoever, public or private. There is a Jewish retreat camp within 1/2 mile of Forest Lake, however that is not open to the public and is not on Forest Lake itself. Camp Ramah is on Pattaquattic Pond. In neighboring Monson, MA, there is a camp, but that is about 10 miles from the only access point offered to the public on Forest Lake, and is also not connected to Forest Lake in any way. Forest Lake in Palmer, MA, only has about 100 ft. of publicly accessible shore, probably about fifty of which is a swimmer's beach. Fishing is allowed. You can launch boats, but there is a 10 mph and 10 hp limit for motoring. Currently, the restaurant and bar across the street, ''Doyle's'', previously ''Lakeview Lounge'' is closed. Palmer is a lovely, quiet town off of the interstate with few accomodations for those looking to stay overnight, nevermind camp. Campers should look elsewhere and day-trip to Palmer if they want to try their luck at this small-town community beach.... |
