Leominster State Forest spans 4,246 acres across several north-central Massachusetts communities, combining wooded uplands, ponds, and the Crow Hills. Its landscape preserves signs of long human use, from Native American shelter and signaling sites at Crow Hill to the remains of Notown, an 18th-century settlement later annexed in 1838. The state began assembling the forest in 1922, and the Civilian Conservation Corps helped shape it during the 1930s by building roads, improving headquarters, and developing Crow Hill Pond. Now managed for conservation, forest fire control, and recreation, it offers trails, swimming, boating, fishing, climbing, skiing, snowmobiling, and limited hunting.
