Life on the Water

Residents and visitors enjoy swimming, boating, kayaking, and fishing here! There is a concrete launch ramp on the eastern shore of the pond.

Undoubtedly, the most popular activity is fishing. Anglers are sure to get a bite year-round, whether fishing from the shore, on a watercraft, or the ice. Species here include largemouth bass, panfish, bullhead, trout, carp, and broodstock salmon — one of the only lakes in the region to do so.

The Arts and Nature

The Berkshires are a place of natural and artistic beauty, and Stockbridge, Massachusetts, is no exception! One of the many spots for local entertainment is TurnPark Art Space, a sculpture museum. There's so much more than just traditional art here; it’s also an exhibition venue and amphitheater!

Perhaps the best-known cultural gem of Stockbridge is Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra! Tanglewood also plays host to many concerts by emerging and well-known instrumentalists.

Are you a plant person who likes to explore nature? If so, then you should check out Berkshire Botanical Garden. There are 15 acres of flower beds, ponds, and gardens to experience here.

Explore Nearby Albany, New York

New York State's capital is less than an hour and a half away from Laurel Lake!

First, check out Washington Park; this city oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of modern American landscaping. Take a stroll around the lake and over the beautiful Victorian bridge, or see the thousands of gorgeous tulips that surround Moses Fountain in the spring.

The Albany Institute of History and Art is another must on your list of stops in the city. This cultural landmark was opened in 1791, making it one of the oldest museums in the country! It features paintings, prints, watercolors, textiles, and other objects that illustrate a narrative of history in the Hudson Valley and its importance to U.S. history as a whole.

Schedule a tour on the USS Slater DE-766, a Destroyer Escort from WWII! During the war, these ships were in charge of guarding naval task forces against Japanese kamikaze attacks or German U-Boats. In modern times, it gives visitors a chance to learn about the day-to-day lives and conditions the men that worked aboard these ships lived through.

After a day of exploring this historic city, finish by dining at one of the highly-rated restaurants available to visitors. Examples include The Hollow Bar + Kitchen, Tanpopo Ramen and Sake Bar, The City Beer Hall, and the Iron Gate Cafe.
