from Springfield, and University Lodge is a pleasant spot to get some rest. Swamps can be such out of the ordinary places, pop by Hawley Swamp since you're here at Lake Boon, and paddling on Millers River - Lower is so much fun.
Lake Boon is not the only spot close by, Campus Pond is a close by lake. There's so much to do here at Lake Boon that you need to camp here for a while, White Birch Campgrounds is a great place for that. If you get bored of Lake Boon,
you could also take a look at nearby Factory Hollow Pond. This lake is so wonderful. It's a good idea to go to Adams Brook, it's in the neighborhood of Lake Boon; get covered with water paddling on Connecticut River. All the water
falling down from the sky makes Lake Boon a wet spot; the month with most of the rain is June, and the driest month is February.

Barton Cove Campground
 | 10 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.... |

Forest Lake
 | 16 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.... |
