Review:
Purgatory Chasm State Reservation is a public recreation area and geological preserve which can be found in the town of Sutton, Massachusetts. There are several unique and interesting aspects for you to explore such as the notable quarter mile long, 70 foot deep chasm of granite bedrock that can be seen there. Though it’s unclear on how the chasm was created, theory is that it was formed by a glacial meltwater from a burst ice dam toward the end of the last Ice Age. Some of the amenities which are available at Purgatory Chasm are a visitor center, a picnic area, hiking trails, a playground, and several areas which allow rock climbing.
