Plunkett Reservoir Beach
Hinsdale, Massachusetts
Small town-associated beach on Plunkett Reservoir in Hinsdale. Minimal facilities, no lifeguards.
At a glance
Overview
Plunkett Reservoir is a Hinsdale waterbody with a small town-associated beach and shore access along the north end. The reservoir is a working water feature (historic ice-cutting site), so depth shifts with drawdown and weed growth. Facilities are minimal — expect a roadside lot, grass shore, and no lifeguard. Fine for a quick Berkshires swim on the way through the Pittsfield / Hinsdale corridor.
