Westville Lake is situated on the Quinebaug River in the towns of Southbridge and Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Westville offers a variety of hiking opportunities, group picnic shelters, a picnic cove, a large recreation field, canoe and kayak launches, and much more.

In the winter, there is an ice skating pond in the park and perfect sledding hills. Both shelters have electricity hook-ups, picnic tables and grills. There is a large picnic cove with many picnic tables and grills, and flush toilets, drinking water and hiking trails are available throughout the park. The recreation area features a large open field, a picnic cove with trees for shade on those hot summer days, and beautiful waterside views for wildlife viewing.
