This 984-acre state park stretches to the south and west in the watershed of the Quabbin Reservoir. Many different tree type invite visitors to relax and observe the nature surrounding them. A 140-acre wildlife sanctuary is on the property and is a haven for birdwatchers. A gorge lies in the southwest section of the forest and is the chief geological feature.
Camping, fishing, hiking and hunting are all common activities here.
The Massachusetts Federation of Women's Club State Forest lies in Petersham and New Salem on Route 122.
