Very nice park with multiple things to do.1. Walking, Hiking and Running Trails2. Two beaches3. Boat rentals - kayaking, canoeing, paddle boating4. Camping, picnic with BBQ spotsWe can return multiple times and do different things each time.

Have been to Hopkinton state park one weekday afternoon. It has got one main beach and another upper beach. Main beach was open for swimming but being a weekday hardly anyone was there. It’s took a walk from the upper beach via damn to the main beach area. After that took the trail to come back to parking near the boating rental. Didn’t try boats but it is a good option. Overall, it was a good experience for a picnic which we had. It had so so many picnic tables well placed. It started raining and the nature looked so beautiful. Parking for MA residents was $8.

Beautiful place. Family friendly. Definitely going back next week with more family member for a picnic. During the Covid-19 outbreak it was so nice to finally get a breath of fresh air!!! It wasn’t packed or dirty. An enjoyable scenic place.

I had a little bit of difficulty getting in the water as the side parking lot doesnt have easy access, but if I had gone to the main parking area or the boat launch I would have been fine (just had to keep my distance because the men on the boat ramp were NOT keeping 6 feet away from others). There were plenty of people out, even late in the season, and on a day it was drizzling/raining for long stretches of time. The island was fun to row out to and there were lots of dog walkers out enjoying the trails. I had a great time and hope you will too!

Nice and calm place to hang out with friends and family. Gets crowded during weekends with parking lot reaching its limit pretty quickly. There are plenty of picnic tables available here.

This place was packed, but we got there early and was able to get a few picnic table and a BBQ for grilling, the water was cold but refreshing, the bathrooms were clean early in the morning but I went back later in the day and the bathroom wasnt all that clean anymore, but there was DCR workers all over cleaning up after people, which I found ridiculous. Why people cant put there own trash in the barrel is beyond me, five stars for the people that work there and have ti clean up after the slobs that leave there trash all over. Come on people LEAVE NO TRACE... PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT...

Beautiful place for a hike or a swim the water is warm very warm. We had a great 2 days here

In a fast pace world, it is nice to have a place like this park nearby to rejuvenate. I go there often to escape. The park can be very busy during the summer weekends, although, you can enjoy it with more tranquility on the weekdays. I simply wish it were better managed.

Clean and well maintained state park. Entrance fee for MA residents is very fair and the lake is just lovely. The beach can get very busy during summer months but still worth the visit to cool off and enjoy the water. Also the boat rental is area is well stocked with all types of canoe, paddle boats and sail boats.

This is an incredible place to visit any time of the year, there are so many things to do! I used to come here to swim, hike with my dog, have picnics/get togethers and sometimes just to be in a quiet place. There are tons of easy hiking trails with little elevation changes but its New England so there are lots of rocks and roots on the paths. You can also walk for miles along the roads inside the park as well. I dont come here during the summer anymore because it gets really busy and it stresses me out but that may not bother everyone. I grew up in Hopkinton and this has always been one of my favorite places to go so I may be a little biased but its worth visiting!

Beautiful place, family friendly. Even with social distancing being practiced, kids can play around freely while having no worries out getting too close others. :)

A really beautiful place. I had a picnic at a table on the beach which was wonderful. You can rent boats. Theres trails. Or just hangout on the beach or cook on the grills.

Took dad out in a Kayak on a beautiful Saturday morning. Place was not too busy, and we were in the water within 10 minutes of arrival. Great location, and proper equipment with all necessary safety precautions. Highly recommend

Love this place. I have been coming to this park for years for walks and dog adventures. Check out trout fishing and boat rentals, you will not be dissatisfied!!

Good prices on boat rentals. Sailboats are only available to pass holders. Bbq stands are in working order and the water smells clean. Bathrooms work. All in all, a properly managed state park bbq area and boat house. I only went to those two areas near Parking Lot D

A fun place to bring the kids for swimming. The beach is rather shallow pretty far out into the water making it perfect for teaching little ones how to swim!

Lots of picnic benches and parking near the damn. Was a very relaxing day by the water. Worth the drive from Boston!

Its a place where you can do some light hikes and with a nice sized body of water in the middle, a place where you can bring a kayak or rent one. You can also sit by the water and enjoy the usually quiet scene around and in the water. People have little trouble socially distancing amidst the COVID 19 pandemic so we found it quite safe.

Last day to kayak and it was perfect. Not too crowded and everyone wore masks. Staff was friendly

Hopkinton State Pakr is an amazing place for a picnic with the family. They provide girls, benches and restrooms close to each picnic zones. There are also many trails for biking or walking as well. One of the trails leads to a mini beach area where youre allowed to fish or play in the send. There is plenty of parking in the designated areas. Currently majority of the road ostbs are closed so you can walk with kids if needed. Only issue is food is a little scarce around Hopkintom State Park.

Very nice place with easy access to the reservoir to launch off your own kayak or to rent one. They also have lots of trails and areas to set up a barbeque to spend the whole day relaxing.

Great hiking around the resavoir. Canoe kayak launches many places.

Such a GREAT Time Paddle boarding! Beautiful lake! Super simple to make reservations for any board, kayak, or other. Best local spot for Serenity!

Very nice clean park and great place to have a picnic. Swimming nearby if you wanted to. Enjoyed my first time being their.

Beautiful, clean and easily accessible park. Nice kayaks available for rent. Not too crowded. Really liked the view it offers. Excellent rating

Went here to go Kayaking with my sister & boyfriend. $8 to park a MA car, and a double kayak was ~$22/hr and a single is ~$16/hr which is pretty reasonable. The lake is gorgeous and the staff is young but kind. You do have to make sure 1 person from each group brings their ID up to the desk though. Also, they provide life jackets and have lockers that you can rent. They allowed us to bring a cooler which is awesome. We pulled onto a little cove & hung out.

Very quiet and pretty. The main beach is small and the water does not get very deep. The upper beach is awesome and has kayaking, paddleboating, and sailing. Great place to spend a warm day!

Great outdoor experience. Easy to practice social distancing in both lake and trails.

Very nice. Plentiful parking. Nice beach, plenty of trails.

I have lived 21 years in mass and i never though about this place now i went with my son kayaking (have our own)on this lake (3rd one) and its nice and beautiful lots of fun son didnt wanna leave after got tired of kayaking he swam for a while. If you dont have a boat or kayak can rent them here!

Nice view, lots of picnic tables w grill, perfect for a family day

I love this place a lot . Huge grill area there . Its is a place where kids can enjoy in water too and good place for family picnic

A good place for family outing. Kids would love and enjoy the nice beach

Relaxing and fun place to spend the day with family and friends. Relax,cook,music,swim and sunbathe. Perfect!

This state park is very clean and maintained. Plenty off parking in not only the main lots but small lots found throughout. You can launch your ownw craft or rent paddleboard, kayak, or peddleboat.

Nice park! Very disappointed no order what so ever. Groups with 5-6 tables leaving other families that would like to enjoy themselves also With out a table ....because of greedy people taking 5-6 tables is unfair park rangers should have a bit more control over tables per family.

Great picnic area. plenty of parking. sand beaches and water where you can swim. good hiking trails. beautiful nature. grills available.

Beautiful treasure...lots of small beaches on the lake

Its a beautiful place for a picnic with family. There are lot of grills and benches around. There are beaches to enjoy. I really enjoyed the boating in the lake, it was very refreshing. The kids loved it.

Its a nice park with a few short trails and a beach area. The trails are well marked. Dogs are supposed to be on-leash but people dont follow that rule and it doesnt seem to be enforced (at least out of season)

Beautiful. Spacious and so much to do even for disabled!

A wonderful State Park for walking, jogging, cycling and family picnic.

Fishing, boating, beach and trail all are at the same location. Parking fee $8 for MA and $30 for non MA registered car. In summer, you can see ice cream cart selling various flavors. A plenty of barbecue area. Nice place for the children also

Awesome park where you can enjoy hiking in the wood, kayaking on the lake and swimming as well at the swim pond lake! Great place to brings your kids, theyll also enjoy climbing the various rocks in the woods! Plenty of places to BBQ and eat with family and friends! Also fishing and kayaking on the main lake!

Very large state park with swimming, canoeing, kayaking, bike/hiking trails. There is ample parking, benches, barbecues pits, ample space to walk your dog (I own a breed of Pitbull) on the right day perfect for flying kites.

It’s a nice place and good pricing but this place has no restrictions on the amount of people at the lake especially with this pandemic going on , also there should be rules like one table per family instead of there being families with 5 and 6 tables per family!! It’s not fair for the rest of us...

Wonderful experience. Great walking trails, kayaking and beach opportunities for every generations.

Beautiful Clean State parks. We did a small hike to the river?! Across from the swimming area. Nice day for a hike too . Place was so much fun

This is one great place mates, awesome scenery, you can rent boats and kayakes, nice size lake, and you can even bring your pups!!! Highly recommend stopping by with a loved one or some friends.

Looks amazing can do the beach ,cook out and boating and hiking all in one

Normally, its a great park with pond for the hotter days and the place is well equipped with grills everywhere, and trails everywhere for hikers with kids. The complaint I have is during COVID, while its nice to see it is open to the public, but the rules that is set in place is definitely not enforced. There are plenty of people that doesnt wear masks and on top, there are groups that is way over 10 - 15 people. Its scary and it make me question if folks dont care for their own health and others? There was actually someone there throwing a bday party for their kid!!!!! Masks are not worn by folks at the beach areas and social distance is not observed, at all!

Very beautiful lake ...I go every year atleast 3-4 time in summer..fun for kids....

Nice park, may need more ground work & maintenance to make it look better

Very nice place for a day at the lake

Take you family here.. You will have a good time

The only complaint is we ran out of summer,place is great

This is place was amazing I like it.

Great place to swim and relax on the beach! Love the wildlife as well!

A pretty nice and friendly environment, you can go boating,fishing,swimming and have a little cookout. Overall nice place to hangout and have fun

We came on Boxing Day. This beautiful state park is stark and serene. Plenty of bag stations for our dog to relieve herself and keep this park beautiful. We cant wait to come back during the rest of the year!

Clean, well maintained, perfect for a picnic

A really nice place to be with Family and also is a nice place for walking

Nice park. Open year round. Great for hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, street walking, pick-nicking, BBQing, swimming, and fishing. No motorized boats are allowed.

Beautiful scenarios & huge space

Went on the peddle boats that day, it was raining but had a great time! Water was warm

Fun park. Have to reserve boats online now at the boating in Boston website

I absolutely love the environment! So much to do besides going in the lake for a swim

Its was so Nice n beautiful, one thing make us uncomfortable ,there is no restroom ,hopefully they open soon,either way its was great n fantastic. We enjoyed

Nice quiet place to have BP. And swimming lake for kids well maintained and very clean

Its a small family friendly park, excellent for little swimmers.

Expansive and beautiful State Park with well laid out hiking, biking trails. Ample clean water access with small children swim area to SUP, kayak, canoe rental. Good fishing or swimming throughout. The lower area offers gentle sloping shallow water swimming and charcoal grill areas for cooking.Good clean restrooms located several spots. The entry fee is $8.00 worth every penny for an area you can enjoy all day.Plenty of parking , easy to find at 164 Cedar St.

A very big place,, bring th whole family, including fido,,, you can picnic there complete with B,B,Q stand just add charcoals, a place for your dogs to run n play on their own park,fishin on upper part of dam or lower part as well n well stocked with 6different kinds of trouts, bass,perch.. n a place to swim n sunbathe,,, all in all a very nice place to visit..

A great place to relax with your family.. lot of place to grill and the beach is cool.. only problem is too crowded during the season

Only there once for a short time. Def going back to rent a Conor and fish! Im not sure if you need to rent the picnic areas or if theyre fcfs.

Beautiful reservoir, good trout fishing, excellent canoeing or kayaking. No gas motors allowed on the reservoir. Canoe and kayak rental available.

Peaceful picnic place

Great place for family picnic, hiking, swimming and many many more entertaining things.

Good park for social distancing. Plenty of space to be isolated.

Very nice swimming, picnicking and hiking. get there by 10 ( due to COVID-19 they had to stop people from entering well before noon)

Very nice place, very clean. Safe for kids to swim and enjoy.

Love renting watercrafts from Boating in Boston. Always nice to hang out, hike & picnic by the Lake.

Super cute place to take the kids swimming. It was clean. Life guards could have been paying more attention to the water and not each other. Fishing was fun also. Kids did some catching.

Love it! Lots of trails, wonderful lake. Im not going to share my favourite secret place ;)

Nice green area close to Hopkinton. It includes a large pond split into two by a dam. Its got beaches to swim or paddle and even sail.

Great park for a family. If you are single and going there for girls I wouldnt recommend that park

Very quite compared to other visits. Water level very very low.

I love the fact the scenery I loved the picnic areas I loved the visibility of kayaking all around 9 at 10

I strongly suggest people visit there!!! It is a great place for kayaking (single $16/hr), hiking and camping!!

Great place to relax and enjoy a nice bbq with family

Clean and oh so pretty! Great place to kayak and relax

Great place for barbecue and a fun day with family and friends

50 years in Boston and just discovered this wonderful place.

Very clean and nice in quiet when been there twice this year

Nice place to BBQ or play sports with kids or friends but he trails r not clearly marked.

Always good time

Great spot. Loved the no swimming sign. Looking forward to going back in summer.

Its a good place to swim and good environment overall.

Beautiful, especially in Fall! Loved the trails.

Great place to fish, cookout & swim with family of all ages..

One of our favorite places to kayak. Just not liking the doubled parking rate.
