Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Does anyone know if these are open all year round? If not, are they open by April? Not concerned with icing issues here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlewis Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Mystic is always "open" -- nobody patrols or guards it (outside of a state polizei cruiser that checks out the parking lots on hot summer evenings). Of course, the water is a bit hard for a few months of the year -- most years, anyway. Walden is heavily patrolled and guarded by some of MA's finest. Take a look at the Walden Pond web site for details. --David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The boat ramp at Walden opens in April. Unless your'e a senior "quaint term" parking at the site is 5.00 per visit or I think 35.00 per season. The area is patrolled and after one warning without a sticker there is a fine. The ramp usually closes for the season sometime in Nonember. The biggest problem with Walden is that the rangers enforce the evening closing time at 7:30PM even though there still may be plenty of light.

Yeah... at about 7:00 they drive down to the beach in an SUV, take out a bullhorn, and loudly announce that everybody has to get out. Sheesh... talk about ruining the ambiance! --David.

rcohn Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 >The boat ramp at Walden opens in April. Note that to the best of my understnding, the boat ramp closes, but Walden is open during the usual hours. So I think you are allowed to park in the main lot and carry boats down. I haven't heard of anyone doing this. Ralph Cohn Black rolling SOF White (Mark Starr) SOF Elaho DS, blue & white with yellow trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHuth Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I believe that Hopkinton Resevoir is open all year round. When I'm warming up for the season, I used Hopkinton last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
