Lake Rico is a great local lake for fishing and kayaking with convenient lakeside parking.

Lake Rico is a decent sized lake located in East Taunton, MA. You can spend hours out kayaking and exploring. From the parking lot the lake looks pretty small but there is an opening towards the back that leads into three larger sections. There is also an island in the back that is great for setting up a slackline or even camping.

Kayaking in Lake Rico is a great way to get outside if you're in the area.

A Great Lake for beginners. No gas powered boats allowed on lake. Kayakers don’t have to worry about waves. The water is calm most the part of the lane near Middleboro Ave

Fish jumping everywhere! Little beaches to the left of the lake. Only accessible with a kayak

Lake Rico is not the largest but it's great to get away on a day off. Some friends and I have camped out overnight on one of the small islands, not sure if it's legal with the law but we left no trace. It's a beautiful spot!

Hike the Norris Reservation Loop

Choose from multiple trails in Norris that offer beautiful views of the the North river and marshland. Great spot to do some trail running through the woods and see the river too. There is also a pond a short distance from the parking lot that offers a great fishing spot with a picnic table nearby as well. To fish on the river, it is about a 1-1.5 mile walk from the parking area to a small cabi...

Hike Frank Knowles–Little River Reserve Trail

Frank Knowles-Little River Reserve contains nearly 9 miles of hiking trails to explore. Start off by parking in the white sea shell parking lot. From there you will find the trail marked by a DNRT sign . My group and I walked along the red/boardwalk trail which features a number of boardwalks leading through wetlands, a cellar of a 19th century old farm house, and a high stone barn foundation. ...

Hike The Skyline Trail at Blue Hills

Park in the lot across from Batterymarch Rd off of Willard St. Access the Skyline trail from here, it is marked blue. Follow the signs. The trails in Blue Hills are perfect for training for backpacking because they are so steep and rocky. I would fill up a big pack and take the skyline trail up to the gorgeous views at the top. It is forested and leads past a couple of bodies of water. A perfec...

Hike The Neutaconkanut Trails

To enter the park, you first have to go through a field and past a baseball park. Next, you will see a high slope, you can either enter the trails through here or the stairs at the side. Some of the trails are overgrown and may have ticks or poison ivy so be careful. This place is good for kids and pets, just make sure you keep your dogs on lead. Some of the red trails are sharp downhills so ma...

Hike Gooseberry Island

Begin an hour before sunset at the intersection between West Beach and East Beach Road. The intersecting roads will lead you to a paved causeway over the ocean. Waves typically clash on either side of you as you drive over the ocean. There is a free parking lot once you reach the opening. To reach the two abandoned fort towers from World War II, begin down the sandy pathway behind the rusted ga...
