PLACES OF INTEREST

Grafton Pond: This large, clear pond with numerous small islands is great for swimming, fishing and canoeing. Few buildings interrupt its shoreline. No boats with motors over 10 horsepower are permitted, and overnight camping is prohibited.
Tewksbury Pond Boat Ramp: Offers free launching facilities for small watercraft, except for those with petroleum-burning engines. This very deep, crystal-clear lake is stocked with trout annually and is a favorite fishing spot all year long.
