FREE on weekdays before Memorial day. Today was a beautiful day to take a walk around the lake and over the dam.

Beautiful state park, especially in fall season. Many trails. You can go boating, swimming, biking when the weather is good. They also have many picnic area and tables. Good for family outing.

You can go to the boat area, which is near the upper beach and, yes, you can set up there. They have benches and barbeques. Bathroom facilities are open, I believe. It was packed last weekend. The whole park is not open yet but will be on memorial day weekend.

How come the gate was closed at 7:10 PM Friday night? I bring my do do at 7ish to get a fast walk in. We live within sounds of a gun range and my dog is scared by the shootings, but going to parking lot "E" she doesn't them shooting.

James Capelle | Dec 27, 2019
Leslie Naditch | Dec 28, 2019

Hi James, I think the GPS takes you to that gate which is closed. At least it has been every time I've been there. However if you take that right turn there you will come to another parking lot that also connects to the path. It's where the fishermen go and I believe there is a little boat house. You can park there and follow the path to your left to get back to the main beach and that wonderful big aquaduct like hill. Being after Memorial Day you would think they would open that darn gate soon right. Let's hope.

Is hunting legal in Hopkinton State Park? I cam across a Hunter there.

Priscilla Cogan | Dec 27, 2018
