Ames Nowell State Park

Ames Nowell is a 600 acre year-round day use area with most of the recreational activity centered around Cleveland Pond. The pond is very popular with boaters and fisherman. Development includes a picnic area, a large parking area that is usually open on weekends in the summer, a ballfield and about 10 miles of trails along the pond's edge and the surrounding woods. The park is part of the Massachusetts state park system and is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), an agency of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
