The DCR managed Quabbin Reservoir Watershed contains over over 82,000 acres of land and water. Although the area's main priority is water preservation and preparation, the area is also commonly used for recreational purposes including walking and picnicking. Moderate fishing, controlled hunting and birdwatching are also permitted on the property.
