Lake Ashmere

Lake Ashmere is used mostly for recreational purposes. It is owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. There are two summer camps located on the lake: Camp Danbee, a private girls camp, on the south side and Camp Taconic, a private co-ed camp on the north side of the lake. A third summer camp, Camp Ashmere, a co-ed church operated camp, closed after the Summer 2018 season, and its land was put up for sale.
