Great Barrington, Massachusetts
Great Barrington town park on the Housatonic River. Picnic and walk — no swim due to the Housatonic PCB advisory.
At a glance
Overview
Old Maids Park is a small Great Barrington town park on the Housatonic River, with grass, shade, and a gravel river edge off State Road. The key catch: the Housatonic below Pittsfield is under a long-standing MA DEP / DPH advisory for PCB contamination — no swimming or eating fish caught here. Use the park as a riverside walk and picnic, not a swim spot.
