Douglas State Forest is a 5,907 acre park in Douglas Massachusetts, managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The terrain in this park is fairly level. So far, we have camped at the trail shelter on the Midstate Trail each time. The one challenge there is that the nearest water is a good hike from the shelter, and it is typically so low during dry weather that we need to filter and treat it for drinking.
The following are from some of our hikes:
