Borderland State Park

Borderland State Park features trails for hiking, biking, or horseback riding, fishing and boating in the pond, and facilities for tennis and disc golf. It has beautiful fauna and many different birds, butterflies, dragonflies, chipmunks, deer and more. There is also a 1850 home built by the Smith family. The large attraction is the 1910 stone mansion built by the Ames family. They do have tours for the mansion. I would recommend this people who love the outdoors and historical homes.

I've been visiting this park my whole life. It's a beautiful place! It has a huge field and tables for picnics and games. Lots of options for hiking trails of varying intensity and you can explore the grounds of the mansion. It has beautiful views and if you're quiet, you can often see wildlife on the trails. I've seen deer on multiple occasions. Parking costs $5. You can pay cash or card at the terminal after parking

Borderland State Park was a fun, relaxing, and educational way to spend a sunny Sunday morning. The park is open every day of the week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. While the parking lot was nearly full, the over 1,800 acres of land prevent the park from seeming crowded. Parking is $5 for Massachusetts residents, $20 for out-of-state residents. Borderland also offers disc golf, fishing, mountain biking trails, horseback riding trails, and little docks for canoeing and kayaking. Accessible bathrooms are available at the visitor center.

Several trails to walk on with friends & family. Easy terrain except for some roots, rocks. Beautiful pond, trees & flowers. Beautiful mansion made of stone- awesome history of the family who lived there in the 20th century. Unique man made “pool.” Also, a large level lawn in front of the mansion to play frisbee, ball etc. Gounds/park are well kept. Does cost $5 for parking, it fills up in the nice weather- recommend getting there earlier than later. When the parking is full- they will close the gates. One of my absolute favorite places to walk at near the South Shore, Ma.

This is a really, really beautiful place for families, groups, friends, kids and even pets. The Lake has a sprawling ecosystem. There are birds and chipmunks all around, and we even saw turtles and snakes (non-poisonous ones)! The foliage during fall is breathtakingly beautiful. One can do fishing, hiking, cycling, even picnic on the benches and tables. The Ames mansion looks great from outside, but we did not do the tour. Plenty of parking, $5 for MA plates. We paid parking via credit card at the lot, but you can use the app mentioned on their website, too. Restrooms are available near the parking lot.
