    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. See more..

    Driving back to Worcester from Clinton, we stopped to check out this dam. It was drizzly and overcast, but the view was beautiful. Everything so clean and green. The Wachusett Reservoir was the largest public water supply reservoir in the world when it was completed in 1905. It is still the longest hand built dam in the world. There are fact sheets hanging in display cases telling you anything you would like to know about this project, like, for instance, that the height from the ground is 115 feet. The area around there is very clean. Only a few parking spaces available. We were lucky as not many people stopped in this weather. See more..
  3. 3.0 Great Stone Dam (11 reviews)
    - this dam deserves better attention and notice
    Dams
    this dam was an early industrial triumph... but it is ignored and forgotten by those who pass by daily. It was the first time concrete injections were used to build such a structure and was at its time the largest dam made. Read and discover more about it before you visit... look at the dam from the landing downstream. Go to the heritage centre to find out more. It doesnt look like much now, but it helped make the area the foundation of the industrial revolution, and to revolutionalise industry across America. It was built by the same Storrow family after whom Storrow Drive is named... A once great but now faded Giant... still working hard... reflects Lawrence well really! See more..

    As populous as Holyoke is, this three-mile jaunt around the reservoir is a beautiful well-kept secret. See more..
