Weekend Excursions
Borderland State Park:

“Borderland is one of the most historically significant tracts of publicly owned land in the Commonwealth. Created in the early 1900s by artist and suffragist Blanche Ames and her botanist husband Oakes, Borderland offers many of the same pleasures that the Ames family enjoyed: walking and horseback riding on woodland trails, fishing and canoeing in the ponds, or, in winter, ice-skating and sledding.”

Massapoag Lake:

Is only about 18 miles away and is one of the cleanest lakes in the State. About 1/2 of lakeshore property is public land. Sharon Comminuty Center (SCC) has concerts, beach, picnic area & trails. Memorial Park Beach open to public.
