Graylag's Story

Join the Graylag community

The Friends of Graylag are neighbors and community members who provide extra support to the nature preserve through a donation or by volunteering their time. In addition to helping Graylag thrive, Friends receive a pass that allows year-round access to the trails, an early reservation window for the summer season, and invitation to special Friends events. We hope you will join us.

Help build Lakeside Pavilion!

A Place to Gather

After years of dreaming and planning, we’ve broken ground on the open-air Lakeside Pavilion, located where the old garage once stood beside Lakeside Cottage. We are transforming that underutilized storage area into a fully accessible, four-season gathering space for educational, cultural, and community programs. We invite you to help us!

Intro to Filmmaking

Sunday, August 24, 10 AM - 1:30 PM

Discover the power of visual storytelling in this immersive, hands-on filmmaking workshop. Open to teens and adults, this workshop is designed for beginners: people who know how to take a selfie and work their phone or camera but wish to take video production to the next level. Just bring a phone or camera that can record video, plus your curiosity and a sense of play!

Graylag Challenge: Swim across the Pond

Saturday, September 13, 10 am

Join us for a 3/4-mile swim on Wild Goose Pond from Graylag to Camp Storer and back  – a great opportunity to enjoy a quiet pond with no public access! All funds will help complete Lakeside Pavilion. We ask that each swimmer raise $100 in pledges in order to participate.

"Our time at Graylag was exactly what we had hoped for — an oasis of natural calm and beauty that seemed a world away from the constant interference of technology and the hubbub of people that make up our everyday world."

— A Graylag guest

Experience the beauty, peace, and quiet of Graylag by staying in one of our comfortable, beautifully furnished cabins.

A Graylag stay is a great choice for families and friends who want to leave everyday life behind and get close to the natural world of the New England woodlands. Swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, and hiking will energize your days, and quiet starry evenings are punctuated only with the calls of owls and loons.
