    • York Lake (~30 min away)
      Forest Rd, New Marlborough, MA 01230 (directions)

      York Lake is a man-made lake that has a small sand beach that is great for swimming when the weather is hot out. There is a nice hour-long hike around the lake as well. You won't see a ton of people here but it's really nice. Has a small boat launch as well.
