This is a wonderful forested park in Plymouth Mass. There are trails for hiking, bicycling, riding; you name it. My husband and I walked around a reservoir on a beautiful autumn day. It was glorious!
This is a nice place to walk or bicycle. The scenery is not spectacular, pine woods and small ponds, but pleasant and relaxing. Has many miles of paved bike paths which are separated from the vehicle traffic. The paths although paved suffer a bit from frost heaves which means it is not a super smooth ride, but still very pleasant. Camping is available check in with the park headquarters.
We were in a yurt on Bartlett Pond and had a great weekend. Everything was clean, the pond was great and the yurt fit our needs completely. The forest is large and quite lovely, especially this time of year. It's only about 20 minutes from Plymouth beach; lots to do in the area. We'll be back!
there are bike and horseback riding trails, places to camp, cabins to rent lots of lakes to swim and boat on. It is a good base for spending time in Plymouth if you like the outdoors.
There are so many trails to explore- but if you get there just after a storm you will have to make your own trails (tough)-but if ski-mobelers have been there-it's great- it's pure beauty-but remember where you started off- there are so many trails you could get lost- but as I said it's pure beauty
Took awhile to talk my girl into camping but she gave in and this is where we went. Stayed at Curlew Pond, on the water and could not have asked for a better site. Bathrooms are clean, showers good. Campground is huge as a whole but where we chose was perfect. back roads make downtown plymouth and shopping not too far, as to going back through the front of the park. Super Walmart nearby too!!
To quote Robert Frost, "the woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep." Miles Standish goes on for miles with well marked trails and is a fabulous resource for Plymouth and Massachusetts. A beautiful way to spend the day.
We stayed at Fearing Pond and it was a great place! Plenty of space and a short wander down to the beach. The water was warm and the views of the surrounding forest were amazing! Kids were having a blast riding their bikes along the pathways, playing games and splashing around in the pond. I don't have children but their noise didn't bother me at all, hey it's their holiday too! The toilets were, well, camping site quality but the toilets flushed and the water was hot! I will definitely go back again, I loved it!!!!!
The forest itself is very neat and HUGE ab appears to offer good outdoor activity opportunities (we didn't do any hiking, biking, etc.). We stayed here to camp 2 nights while we saw Plymoth. Staff was very friendly. Easy drive into Plymoth ~20 minutes. However we were not fans of their campground. Campers are packed one on top of the other making for no privacy. Bathrooms were relatively clean with on very new building. Hot showers.
The first week of august, we were at curlew pond. I think they never clean seriously the bathroom and shower since it was built last year, the toilet smelled urine all the week and old soap and waste stayed on the floor of the shower many days before someone picked it up. A huge coat of soap and black spot covered all the wall of the shower. We never saw that in any state park before
