About Cochituate State Park

Lake Cochituate forms the center of this day-use park, giving it a swimmable body of water rather than trails or woodland as its main draw. The park is limited to daytime use, so it functions as a spot to visit and leave rather than stay overnight. It falls under the management of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
