About Tully Lake Recreation Area (MA)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites you to come relax at Tully Lake. There are a variety of outdoor recreation activities for you and you family. Although the dam was built primarily to reduce flood damages on the Millers and Connecticut Rivers, the 1,300-acre reservoir area provides a place for you to get away from it all and connect with nature.

Severe hoards of bees attacking our guests and infesting our food. Dumped out 60%of our deserts cause of this issue. Otherwise a perfect setting for the gathering we had maybe better in the fall when it’s not peak season for bees?

We had a great birthday bash at the pavilion! Guests enjoyed walking over to the water, and using the picnic tables and grills provided. We brought plenty of water, as there was none available, and hardly even used it. The sanitizing hand wipes that I brought with me came in handy while grilling. We stayed until almost sunset, and did our best to leave it better than we found it. Guests did complain about the toilets being a bit shitty (pun intended). Overall it was very worth the $40 for the whole day!
