Hiking

There's a public beach here on the south side of Webster Lake, one of the biggest — and prettiest — landmarks along the Northern Rail Trail. The Northern Rail Trail itself used to be the railbed of the Boston and Maine Railroad's Northern Line; it's now an easygoing, multi-use trail made mostly of compacted stone dust.

Running

There's a public beach here on the south side of Webster Lake. The lake itself is one of the biggest — and prettiest — landmarks along the Northern Rail Trail. If you don't mind a little road running, you can also put together a nice loop run around the lake.

Road cycling

There is a public beach and car parking here at the south end of Webster Lake. Whether you are cycling along Webster Road or along the Northern Rail Trail, it is worth a stop here to look at the views. There is also a small, compact covered bridge with exposed side trusses, which is gorgeous to look at going over Chance Pond Brook. In addition, there are also rest rooms here if the need arises.
