Upton Heritage Park - Upton, Massachusetts

Cool little park! Nice, quiet walking area near the pond. The stone chamber isn’t marked well, but it’s behind the parking area and shed just within the tree line. Directly beside someone’s private yard, which is a little weird, but definitely worth a stop for 5 minutes at least. The chamber isnt very large, but spooky and impressive. You have to duck down to get in and use a phone flashlight, it’s pitch black inside. If you don’t like spiders or if you’re claustrophobic, don’t go in. The ceiling inside the structure has a ton of huge wolf spiders. Very mysterious and a very cool piece of history!

Such an adorably cute little park. So glad this land and it's history could be preserved. Was there on a sunny evening around 5:30pm. As we walked into the lower meadow, I glimpsed something hopping in the grass. Upon close inspection, was delighted to see wee small frogs! I'm guessing they were peepers? Saw at least 10 of them ... Walked carefully to hopefully avoid stepping on them!

It's very nice and clean and not much to see, but it's very easy to miss the entrance to the place! It's between two houses and you have to look for the sign, and a little steal pipe gate! I actually thought it was someone's driveway! But you can Google it and drive very slow to get in the driveway! It's not far from the main road,on the south end of it! It's a little park an not much to see but a little handmade cave made of big granite stone, and it is behind the shed out building! When I was there with my friend,there was no one else in the park !

I just went here today, the cave is pretty cool I have to say, I went by myself, the whole time I thought what if there's a dead guy in here, it's actually bigger then you think in there. Also make sure you bring a flashlight, it's really dark inside the cave.

Cave is behind the small shed, down the hill.

The field is well kept. There is no signage at all. I missed the cave for quite some time given how small it is.

Unfortunately the cave was completely flooded and full of mosquitoes. Now I wonder if it ever dries out.

Cool place and history but very underwhelming not being able to see it.

Underwhelming site. Despite what other reviews have said there isn’t any good hiking here. A 5 minute stroll, yes. A hike, no. You can enter the “cave”. The entrance is about 4 feet high so you have to crouch down. There is no debris other than some limbs on the ground to step on instead of stepping in pooled water. Meh.

Cave was cool. It would have been more enjoyable if it were not flooded with about a foot of water. Maybe when it gets cold enough to freeze over, or hot enough to dry up. We will return. The cave tunnel is stated to being 6 ft high. It was not. The entrance to the cave is about 4 ft high max, and never reaches 6 ft until you're in the chamber. Still, very accessible. You should have no problem fitting, im 6'-2" and large.

Had to take off my shoes and walk in about 8” of water to get to the inside dome. For me, worth it.
