Hampton Ponds State Park in Westfield

This place opens at 10:30 am and the parking space is big and close to the area, so its not so much walking to do. The lake is big and nice, a lot of goose pup, but still nice. It has big gazebos and the grills are all around the place, it has picnic tables and a lot of green area with a lot of trees around for shade. The water is not too clean but still nice.

Beautiful pond. Plenty of picnic tables. Nice big beach and swimming area. Walking and fishing is great here. Seperate boat ramp and parking. Motorized boats allowed so be aware if kayaking or canoeing. All around a nice park to go to.

Our favorite place to hang out or go for walks with a dog. Sometimes kayaking. We swim there too although you have to check first when it is safe or not safe to do so. They will post it. One dislike 👎 - some people on jetSki‘s swim very aggressively sometimes and too close to the ages of the pond so when you are swimming near shore in a wild part of the pond closer to the fishing area - we are worried that they will run us over :(

It's popular, so it's usually packed. However, I love it still. There's a beautiful array of plants and animals. Wild blue berries and roses. Many song birds. Very scenic. Definitely an awesome place to paddle. Very much a boating community. I limit myself from swimming here only in early to mid spring because I find the frequency of this place closing from high fecal amounts a bit off putting.

My favorite place to be not just during the summer, but year round. I love the peace and tranquility and enjoy the wild life. My grandkids love being pulled on the tube with the boat. Water skiing and of course swimming and fishing . In the winter it's ice fishing and skating.

The place is good if you want to stay by the water and fry meat, spend time with family and friends. There are many tables, toilet. There is a swimming area and parking. But I don't like opening hours. Late to open and close early. For the summer period, this watch is not successful. And the rest I like this lake and its arrangement.

Great place to cool off. Place opens at 10am. I came here on a Sunday to see if I could test out my new scuba suit unfortunately they don't allow snorkeling. Place has changing rooms, bathrooms, grilling areas and allow dogs on leashes. Mass residents pay $8 . Clean place, water was warm and pond overall is shallow came up to my hips makes it safe for families with young children. You can also bring your kayak and small boat. Glad I came. Highly recommend.

Nestled in Westfield is a beautiful small lake surrounded by homes, hilly terrain and woodlands. It has several nice sized beaches some with shelters, picnic areas & fire boxes for grilling to entertain families on those hot summer days. There is boating, canoeing, paddle boats, water skiing, fishing, hiking and lots of other ways to enjoy yourself. It makes for a picturesque setting with many of subjects just poising for you to take a picture. Walk the streets with the shore homes you'll be surprised. There is a Fighter Reserve Base near by and youigjt get a to see F18's taking off vertically, fly around usually in pairs and close ups as they land. It is quite a sight. Enjoy, we certainly did and will again.
