Cochituate State Park is located on the shores of Lake Cochituate, which attracts waterfowl such as ducks, geese, swans, and herons. The park also has wooded areas, meadows, and wetlands that provide shelter and food for songbirds, raptors, woodpeckers, and owls. The park has several trails and picnic areas that allow visitors to enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife of the park.

Cochituate State Park’s main feature is Lake Cochituate, which is made up of three linked ponds.
