Kayak along the Ipswich River. Play a round of 18. Take in a Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park or take to the slopes at one of our ski resorts. In Massachusetts, once you start, you may find it very difficult to stop.
We are, after all, located in a unique part of the country. Where you can view a wide range of athletics at the professional and amateur levels. Where it’s possible to embark on a whale-watching or fishing charter one day, and trek through miles of winding mountains and trails the next. Where the world is your playground and there are countless attractions, recreational activities and events to cherish, all year long.

A great tool for planning a day-trip, weekend or family vacation, The Great Outdoors will cover topics like recipes for cooking locally grown produce, the three steepest hikes in Massachusetts, field reports from shark biologists, when to volunteer to count bald eagles, where to tour local wineries, and the best stocked fishing holes.
