     This is a brilliant neighborhood for folks who like lakes. Russ Pond is a lake around here, and Quaboag River has a perfect whitewater paddling spot close by. Lots of rainfall falls at Dead Pond; throughout May this area sees the most rain; February meanwhile is the driest month. From Dead Pond you get a delightful sight of Bials Hill, and a pleasant close by hotel is University Lodge. You feel that's enough? Just getting warmed up. In case you don’t mind  
   getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Millers River, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop at nearby Gibbs Pond.
Dead Pond is delightful enough to spend more than a day at, Wagon wheel Camping Area is a delightful local campground, and if you're looking for some flowing water? Try Hop Brook. A day on the slopes of Pine Ridge is just what you need. At Dead Pond all through the warm months highs are in the 80's
 
               while night lows are frequently in the 50's. Daytime highs through the wintertime are in the 30's while the cold winter nights at Dead Pond are in the 0's.
This lake is so wonderful. If you came to camp Lakeridge Campground is a great place to do that, and University Lodge is a glorious location to get some rest.

Millers River

Rode it today.... lost 5 canoes on it as it rained last night and transformed into Class IV rapids.... Luckily we rescued 1 canoe and all 12 people got safely off of the river....

Forest Lake
12 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....

Barton Cove Campground
13 miles away
I have been going there for over 20 years. It is a great place to take a family and if you are lucky, you will get to see the bald eagles (I actually got to see their first flight)....Lovely campground with huge, clean wooded tent sites. Some sites overlook the Connecticut River, and a few offer access to a swimming or fishing beach. There are some high cliffs on the river side of the campground, partly blocked with post and rail fencing. Small children may not respect the fences, so that should be considered when families with kids choose their site. Overall very enjoyable, and I look forward to returning soon....
