Confirmed from Chicopee Memorial State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Bike & cross-country ski trails & 25-acre pond for swimming & fishing on 575 acres with picnic area.

“The park is beautiful and has a little bit of everything — hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, and great picnic/grilling areas.”
“Coffee break, picnic, BBQ, walking with dog , free parking area ✅ for peaceful time here is perfect 👌”
Great place for hikes, grilling or taking the kids for a swim! Staff are super friendly and always happy to help you
Wonderful state park. There are BBQ, a lovely swimming area with life guards, clean bathrooms, and beautiful trails. A great rest stop on the way to New Hampshire or Orange, MA. There are plenty of activities to do and only 1 hour from New Haven for a beautiful drive and respite in nature.
I bike here all the time with my friend. There's many trails along the forest that you can take. There's also a long bike trail that loops around the park back to the area where you came from. Beautiful lake to take pictures too.
Lots of things to do! LOVE all the bike trails. Plenty big enough to social distance. Well kept. It's a family favorite.
