The Lake Mansfield Recreation Area is comprised of Lake Mansfield
(also known as "Mansfield Pond"), a public boat launch at the southeast
shore, a public beach and picnic area at the northeast shore, and
a conservation forest across the road from the beach extending to
Christian Hill Road. The remaining lands around the lake and conservation
land are privately owned. The recreation area is overseen by the Conservation
Commission. All wetland areas within the recreation area are protected
by the Wetlands Protection Act.
The property is for the use and enjoyment of the public. Passive
recreational activities, such as hiking, picnicking, fishing, swimming
and boating, are encouraged. Winter activities, such as ice skating,
snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and ice fishing, are also permitted.
Such uses are expected to be reasonable, without litter, damage or
other activities that might infringe upon the rights or enjoyment
of others.
