Hopedale Pond Red Loop

The setting and trails in the small village of Hopedale, MA are nicely maintained. The parklands are near the Hopedale Pond. Most of the trails are far enough from the surrounding homes that you don't feel like you are in the town. It was very quiet and safe. The hours are from dawn to dusk. The Hopedale town's Park Commission accepted Manning's proposal for a park of nearly two hundred acres, covering the entire shoreline of Hopedale Pond.
