Pearl Hill State Park is the perfect weekend escape from the city. Although downtown Boston is just 55 miles to the southeast, the park feels like a different world. Drop your fishing line in the quiet pond, hike through the forest, or take in the sound of the wind through the trees from your campsite. Popular with families, this 1,000-acre park also offers swimming, mountain biking, and picnicking. Nearby Townsend and Fitchburg sit less than 10 miles away, so it's easy to pop into town for a supply run or dinner out.
