Ashley Reservoir, Massachusetts, United States

5.0 (20 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Holyoke Dams

Most peaceful

Finally got here again on a beautiful day and still felt alone most of the time. Writing this review is counter productive to keeping it empty but I just need to rave how peaceful this place is. It's almost like walking on water.

    Jogging and walking trail
    The Reservoir has recently had its main entrance on Route 202 blocked with concrete barriers and guardrails. The town of Holyoke states this is due to concerns for pedestrian safety. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out an alternative entrance. I finally discovered one near the Holyoke mall area on Lower Westfield Road. Take Lower Westfield Road (off of Homestead Avenue) and follow it up the hill. Bear right and you will see the Elks Lodge on your right. There is parking availability and the gate leading to the Reservoir allows pedestrians to come and go into the Reservoir.

    Gorgeous walking, running trail and easy to access
    Very easy, flat, gravel path that winds around the reservoir. Terrific water views and a lot of photo opportunities. Customize the length of your walk, from not much more than a mile, to maybe 6 miles, and not repeat anything. Fantastic sunsets, occasional geese. Not crowded. You can part at the Elk lodge parking area and enter at the gate. Bicycles and strollers are allowed. Plenty of room for everyone. No charge. No dogs allowed.
