12,000+ acres of blazing fall color make the Myles Standish State Forest a popular destination in southeastern Massachusetts.
Fall color along one of the smaller ponds.
The forest includes many acres of mature pine, I estimate 60-80 feet tall, the wind whistling through the boughs, and a soft carpet layer of pine needles underneath the canopy.
A future crop.
A late season lily in bloom on one of the many ponds.
This is one of the 170+ cabins/cottages that line the many lakes and ponds in the forest. They are private but located on state land in a controversial arrangement. Apparently, the plan over time is to have them all revert to state ownership and control as the owners pass away.
