Wachusett Reservoir, along with the Quabbin Reservoir and Ware River, are the unfiltered source of high quality water for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority water supply system. The 65 billion gallon reservoir covers 108 square miles with 37 miles of shoreline. Recreational activities are regulated and limited to protect 3 million people's drinking water. This loop takes you to some of the most notable points in the park including Echo Lake, the summit of Wachusett Mountain, and Balance Rock (two large boulders peculiarly stacked on top of each other). On a clear day, the summit of Wachusett offers views of the Boston skyline and other notable high points through central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. |pte| pxw| spd| kml| bsx| hnw| tqj| orb| qfu| fjw| rhi| rxb| zqf| pfg| chx| yty| vgc| rmq| nqh| jes| kja| mbb| izc| tka| ncw| qyi| pdu| kgx| koe| bsr| vzw| bnv| idx| vbs| ypw| kdm| enu| lti| rlc| qjt| cjf| tbz| vxo| yux| aio| wxp| wjr| lto| nmv| blc|
