Tips for birding Robinson State Park
Getting there: Take MA-57 west from US-5 to exit 5, Mill Street. Take the 2nd right on Line Street and follow to the end. Turn left on MA-147 and make an immediate right on Letendre Street. Go to the end and turn left on North Street to the park entrance on the right. The gates are open at 8 am.

Timing and species: Spring for woodland migrants and residents.

Birding Plan: From the gates drive west (left) through the park, pulling over at convenient spots to walk along road or trails and along the Westfield River. Return and park near the entrance to walk the trails to the east behind the headquarters building. To access the trails into the far eastern area, go left out of the gates and take the first left onto James Street. Drive to the end of Maynard Street and park along the road. To access the trails into the far western area go right out of the gates, then turn right at the lights on North Westfield Street (MA-47) and proceed to the parking area on the right opposite Northwest Road.

About Robinson State Park
Robinson State Park serves as a major day use area for the Springfield region. Donated to the state in 1934 by John C. Robinson, the facility includes over 800 acres with five miles of frontage on the Westfield River.

A paved road that runs along the River’s edge creates access to the park available for cars, foot traffic, bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs leading to the swimming pond, playing fields picnic areas, and the launch area for canoeing and kayaking.

Approximately 20 miles of trails in the park are shared by walkers, hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. Many of them offer scenic views of the Westfield River, including the 17-acre island west of the falls at Mittineague, which is one of the park's most picturesque spots.
