History
In 1997, the Department of Environmental Management, now known as the Department of Conservation and Recreation, acquired Lake Wyola Park from Emelia Bennett and established the Carroll Holmes Recreation Area. The park was dedicated in honor of Carroll Holmes, a former Shutesbury selectman and an individual who had previously held the position of director within DEM's Region IV.
The park has trails for walking, hiking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, restrooms, picnic grounds, and a beach. Lake Wyola's provide opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating.
