    I have driven by this course hundreds of times as I passed it on route 2. I had no idea there was a golf course here until I happened to find it on Google. Just played it and it's a lot of fun. An interesting layout with some challenging holes. I will be back. It's worth noting that some of the fairways are in rough condition due to last year drought but overall the course is fun. Given how inexpensive it is to play I gave it five stars as it's a bargain. See more..

    This park is at the junction of the Millers and Tully Rivers. There are trails through meadows and wetlands. The people that created this park have chosen to leave the landscape as found, instead of bulldozing it, and creating some Olmsted vision of what a bucolic landscape should look like. The result is that there are a lot of native species and ecosystems in the park, right in the center of Athol. This park is located at the Main St. Bridge. There is parking at the trail head. For GPS directions, use the address "1 Main St., Athol, MA". See more..

    Lots of hills, very clean porta pottie at parking area, lots to explore. We did a loop that took us 2 hours and we walked 4 1/2 miles. There are maps at the parking area that you can take. We will definitely be going back in the spring. See more..
