What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Attaquin Park offers a pleasant sandy beach on a beautiful lake, with the convenience of an adjacent brewery. While many enjoy the clean water and family-friendly atmosphere, some visitors have noted concerns about potential odors and cyanobacteria warnings, alongside parking and kayak launch fees.
"Attaquin Park has a nice beach area on the lake. The water looked very clean. There was a small playground at the park as well. There was some construction going on when we stopped so our visit was brief. I only saw a portable potty; however, did not know if it was for public use or by those doing work."

"Very large beautiful lake. Sandy beach . ́lots of parking. Right next door to nokabout brewery
The beach smells as if the septic system is overflowing. Cyanobacteria warning is posted in parking lot.
I brought my kayak to paddle around this beautiful lake. There was a 10 dollar charge to put the kayak in the lake. I have a national park yearly pass. I have a massachusetts park pass and i have a mashpee recreational town pass. Nevertheless it was 10 dollars to put my kayak in the lake. The two town employees taking money were very nice. The three more that were at the landing watching me launch the kayak were informational. It was a lovely spot to spend a day on the water.
The beach/park wasnt crowded.
I have to give it a no/go until the aroma/bacteria problem is gone"
