Visitors come from across Massachusetts and the surrounding areas for weekend camping trips —the ideal getaway when you want to unwind in nature.
Post-adventure pairing: After a long day by the lake and an evening campfire, try an edible like the all-natural, low-sugar Remedy Golden Peach gummies to help you relax into the night.
Leominster State Forest: Explore Over 4,000 Acres
If you’re an outdoor enthusiast looking for fun summer days, Leominster State Forest has plenty of fascinating activities to choose from:
- Hiking and mountain biking trails through scenic woodlands
- Swimming and fishing spots at Crow Hill Pond
- Rock climbing for the bold and adventurous
Looking for a quieter afternoon? Sit by the water with a fishing pole and let yourself simply take it all in.
Post-adventure pairing: A disposable vape like Tropical Smoothie is an excellent choice for a wind-down at home after a long hike or a day spent in the great outdoors.
Barrett Park: Family-Friendly Fun
Barrett Park provides an accessible in-town escape. While you can wander the hiking trails and take in the beauty of the local area, the park also offers playground equipment, a beach volleyball court, and sports fields, perfect for a day out with the family. The park also features an 8.9-acre pond stocked with fish throughout the season.
Post-adventure pairing: After a fun afternoon out at the park, consider a refreshing drink like the Tangerine Haze Seltzer to help you gently transition from outdoor energy to lounging.
Coggshall Park: Quiet Reflection in Shady Paths
Cogshall Park is another summer location favorite for getting in your outdoor fix without having to head into the unknown. It offers a shady walking path and a beautiful pond, making it perfect for a leisurely walk or simply sitting back and taking in those fantastic natural vibes.
This park is a popular spot for picnics, whether you’re looking for outdoor group tables or a serene location to escape the daily stress. It also offers a playground and a baseball diamond, perfect for letting the kids burn off some energy.
Post-adventure pairing: After your day out in the sun, consider relaxing with a hybrid pre-roll, like the Do Si Dos 5-pack, featuring sweet floral notes. Since they’re already rolled for you, pre-rolls allow you to enjoy the benefits of a relaxing experience without the mess.
