Lake Boon in Stow & Hudson, Massachusetts

Looking for the joy and serenity of year-round waterfront living just 40 minutes from Boston? Look no further than the hidden suburban gem, Lake Boon. A summer haven in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, gentrification has created a community of like-minded residents who enjoy boating, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, snowmobiling, fishing, cross-country skiing, hockey, and ice skating.

The Lake Boon Association oversees a variety of annual events including the “Lighting of the Lake” evening during the Lake Boon Water Carnival where docks and watercraft are illuminated while a boat with a live band cruises the waterfront. The annual “Decorated Boat Parade” is also a big hit. A crowd pleaser is seeing the Captain and his self-made solar powered 22-foot model "Titanic" cruising. Weekends and holidays provide “Quiet Hours” when kids and dogs, floaters, swimmers, paddleboarders and kayakers can frolic in the lake without worrying about noisy power boats.
