About Great Brook Farm State Park
Great Brook Farm State Park stands as a jewel in northern Massachusetts! Agriculture has been part of Great Brook's history for centuries. Holsteins have been kept here for over 60 years and current farmer Mark Duffy continues the tradition with his black and white ladies. Native Americans had previously used the area for sacred sites. Seventeenth-century cellar holes comprise "the city" where early English colonial settlers worked one of numerous mill sites.

The park is home to the first robotic milking system in Massachusetts, installed in a state-of-the-art “smart” barn designed specifically for this technology. Smart Barn Tours for the public are held weekends and holidays from mid–April to mid-October starting outside the Ice Cream Stand, weather permitting. Groups that want to book tours during the week should call or email in advance.

Parking fee: Buses are $20 per day per bus and personal vehicles are $2 per day per vehicle when parking fees apply.

The park consists of approximately 1000 acres and has over 20 miles of trails available for walkers, hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders. Dogs are allowed in the park. All dogs need to be on leash in high use areas such as the parking lots, the pavilion, and the ice cream stand. Dogs are permitted to be off leash on the trails only if they are in voice command, and if you are in possession of a leash that does not exceed 10ft in length.
