Overview
Bigelow Hollow State Park sits on Mashapaug Lake and Bigelow Pond in the Nipmuck State Forest, Union. The pond and lake shorelines, a boat launch, and the Nipmuck Trail's lake loop make this a classic quiet-water day. Note: Bigelow Hollow is not on DEEP's list of designated, lifeguarded swim areas — unofficial shoreline swimming is at your own risk.
