     On a delightful day you get a vista of Baptist Hill from Crystal Lake, and there are some fine whitewater spots on Connecticut River. Throughout the months of summer at Crystal Lake highs are mostly in the 80's. Summer overnight lows fall down to the 50's. Daytime highs through the wintertime are in the 30's while Crystal Lake night low temperatures during the winter are in the 10's. This lake is so wonderful. A lake close by is Lilly Pond; since you're here  
   you can play some golf at Mill Valley Golf Links. Why not stop by nearby Dumplin Brook if you're here at Crystal Lake, and Partridge Hollow Campground is a good campground nearby.
Comfort Inn & Suites is a perfect site to get some rest, and if you came for an overnight stay Sunsetview Farm Camping Area is a tremendous spot to camp. What a site this is for outdoors folks. A wonderful close by hotel is Wilbraham Inn; Crystal Lake is not the only place nearby,
 
               Swift River Reservoir is a nearby lake.
Hit the slopes at Pine Ridge in the neighborhood, and Bondsville Lower Dam is not far at all from Crystal Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Here at Crystal Lake there are plenty of folks from Springfield, and if you come at the right time of year, Quaboag River offers some great whitewater. Crystal Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; the month with most of the rain is May, and the driest month of the year is February.

MORE STUFF NEARBY:

Forest Lake
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....
