Lake Wyola is a 129 acre lake with a heavily developed shoreline that includes both year-round homes and seasonal cottages. It is a fully recreational lake and popular in the summer. Lake Wyola State Park, also known as the Carroll A. Holmes Recreation Area, is located in the quaint hill town of Shutesbury, just north of Amherst. This 40-acre day-use area is located on the shores of Lake Wyola, a Native American word meaning “quiet waters”. Here on the crystal clear waters of the 128-acre lake one can swim at the guarded beach or picnic at one of the many picnic sites all with charcoal grills.
