Rutland State Park Recreation and Conservation Area
Rte. 112A, Rutland
$5.00 to park in the park unless you have a MA ParksPass. This costs $35 per car/per year. This is a beautiful and well cared for park! Be advised to bring sunscreen and bugspray. Always check for ticks. I've not seen any here but I always check.

Rutland State Park is a 300 acre recreation area with developed facilities for fresh water swimming, picnicking and boating. At Whitehall Pond, there is a swimming beach and adjacent picnic area.

Recreational Opportunities
Non-motorized boating, Canoeing, Fishing, Group Day Use, Hiking, Hunting (Restrictions), Mountain Biking, Picnicking, Restrooms, Scenic Viewing Area, Skiing (Cross-Country), Swimming, Walking Trails.

Park Directions
Rutland State Park is located in mid-central Massachusetts.
From east or west: Rte. 2 to Rte. 31 south, Rte. 122 north, right on 122A, follow signs.
From Worcester: Rte. 122 west, right on 122A, first left.
From Holden: it's 2 rights into the park.

You will need an inkpad. Any color will do. I think I used red.

Enter the park with the mini-ranger station on your left and bathrooms on the right. Pass the beach on your left which is a lovely spot for kids to play and swim. This park has LOTS of picnic tables so you may want to bring a lunch. (We always do.) You are traveling partway around the pond. Pass another bathroom on your right. The pond curves toward the road and then away again. Pass the next picnic area on the left. (The Beatles: When I'm Sixty four is nearby.)
At a low point on the road you can see a little stream on your right and the pond on your left. Stop and listen to the stream. Heading up the hill you will see a one way sign. (There are more bathrooms on your left) Follow the sign direction around this big circle of grass. Look for a structure of sticks that is woven together to form a natural tent. On your right you will see 2 trees taking a nap on the ground. X marks the spot. Take a compass reading of 165 degrees. You are looking for a 3 trunk tree with one dead trunk. The Twilight Zone's: Mighty Casey is resting in the tree.

Make sure you log in and drop me an e-mail to say hi or tell me if something is wrong with my box. This stamp made it's first appearance in a national postal letterbox ring in December 2006.

Check out the The Beatles: When I'm Sixty-four also in this park.
