Review:

Along with the adjoining Nipmuck State Forest, Bigelow Hollow State Park offers over 9,000 acres of beautiful outdoor space which you can explore. Bigelow Hollow, on its own, was established in 1949 and only spans 516 acres. There is an 18-acre pond, miles and miles of hiking trails, and a plethora of recreational opportunities you can participate in. Amenities include designated picnicking facilities and a boat launch; this allows for boating and fishing. You can fish for native trout, pickerel, and small and largemouth bass in both the summer and the winter (ice fishing). Other activities include hiking, snowmobiling, and backcountry camping.
