Hopkinton State Park contains 1450 acres and with its fresh water reservoir and its sheltered coves it’s a great location for protected Kayak instruction. The town of Hopkinton is a beautiful New England community with 14,000 residents, just 30 miles west of Boston, 45 minutes north of Providence, two hours east of the Berkshires, and one hour north of Cape Cod. Within twenty miles of Hopkinton State Park there are many locations for extensive trail riding, rock-climbing, mountain biking (the infamous Vietnam trail is only five minutes away) hiking and lake swimming.
