Walker Island Camping, Massachusetts
|
| | The staff at Walker Island was very friendly. There were many faucets located near campsites, and an outhouse, and an outlet in some sites. Our sites were located by the brook which on the other side is a busy road that large trucks occasionally rumble by. The pool was 5ft deep, compared to the 'small beach' which is literally a pile of sand plopped by the brook. No swimming in this beach. The arrow pointing to the spring is really a spring hung on a tree. Not so funny when your vacation hopes were to swim in some natural waters. Hiking may be |
difficult to find ask for directions. Says ML
Walker Brook is a fine place to visit, and get your heart pumping on the good whitewater of Westfield River - West Branch. Going for a hike along the County Road Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area, and
| lakes are such peaceful places, why not stop at Round Hill Pond.
