A DCR park split across two sites on the lake's west shore, Regatta Point and Lake Park, with swimming, sailing, picnicking and a 2,000-meter rowing course rated among the best in the world. Both developed sites sit on the Worcester side of the water, not the Shrewsbury side, though the park name and course cover the whole lake.
