While you can enjoy the water views at Kenoza Lake, boating, swimming, and fishing are prohibited. However, you will be able to see plenty of waterfowl swimming around!

If you do want to go fishing, swimming, or boating, you can do so at Plug Pond. It’s a great spot to have a picnic as well.

And then there’s the castle. Built between 1873-1875, this castle was designed as a summer home for Dr. Jame R. Nichols. It was eventually sold to the city of Haverhill in 1895.
