     You could also visit Baldwin Pond since you're here at Freitag Pond; it's close by, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Quaboag River. This lake is so wonderful. The top of Bald Peak is easily seen from Freitag Pond; after a long day outdoors Comfort Inn & Suites is a fine spot to spend a night or two. At Freitag Pond through the months of summer highs are in the 80's, and through the night it cools down to the  
   60's. All through the winter highs are in the 30's, and overnight lows during the wintertime for Freitag Pond tend to be in the 10's. Playing golf is lots of fun at Valhalla at Quaboag Country Club, and a nice nearby hotel is Wilbraham Inn.
What a place this is for outdoors folks. The best way to spend a winter day is on the slopes of close by Pine Ridge, also Baldwin Pond Dam is worth a visit since you're here. Nearby lakes? Sure, Pulpit Rock Pond is in the
 
               vicinity of Freitag Pond, and get your pulse rate up on the magnificent whitewater of Connecticut River. This lake is so wonderful. Take a little journey to Pinnacle Creek while you're here at Freitag Pond. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Freitag Pond has to offer, you can camp at Partridge Hollow Campground.
Freitag Pond is a quite wet place mostly with a large amount of precipitation; of all the months in a year May is the one with the most rain, and the driest month of the year is February. There's so much to do here at Freitag Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Sunsetview Farm Camping Area is a wonderful spot for that, and you'll meet a lot of folks from Springfield here.

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....
