Discover Rutland State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Rutland State Park is named for the closest town, Rutland, MA, which was officially established in 1713. Rutland State Park is best known for being the site of several prisons. During the Revolutionary War, Americans captured Hessian spies and soldiers, which were hired by the British, and established a prison camp in the area. In 1903, Massachusetts built a prison to house minor criminals. These prisoners were required to maintain a small dairy and chicken farm as well as plant crops (primarily potatoes) while carrying out their sentences. A small hospital used to treat tuberculosis patients was added to the grounds. However, due to poor drainage, the entire facility was abandoned in 1934, and the state of Massachusetts converted it to a state park in 1963 for outdoor recreation use.

Getting Outdoors

Though Rutland State Park is a smaller one with about 300 acres to its name, there’s plenty of things to do at the park. Hit the trails and meander through the deep, thick woods. Underfoot, the dirt trails are soft and loamy from generations of fallen leaves. Overhead, the leaves are bright green and lush. Veer off-trail to explore the abandoned ruins of the 1903 prison, which has been thoroughly marked by graffiti paint. If one is inclined, enter the ruins and dabble in urban decay photography, though caution is highly advised.
