Day-use park for water sports; some sports are allowed or prohibited on the 3 sections of the lake
This park is located along the three large, north-south lobes of Cochituate Lake. The northern and middle sections of the lake are divided by the east-west Interstate 90 and State Route 30. The middle and southern sections are split by the east-west State Route 9.
Activities include boating, swimming, and fishing on its three large lakes. Picnicking, swimming, and boat launching are limited to the middle lake, where the main body of the park is located. Boaters may gain access to the other lakes through channels under roadways. Jet skis are not allowed. On heavy-use weekends, the parking area can reach capacity, requiring temporary closing of the parking lot. For closure updates, check Twitter @MassDCR.
