The Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area (FLCA) offers seasonal opportunities for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, bird-watching, canoeing, and fishing. FLCA contains a 40 acre artificial lake, as well as forest, open meadows, and wetland habitats.

Trail information and maps are available at parking areas on North Farms Road, Cooke Avenue, and Marian Street. Visitors can follow well-marked trails around the lake, through the woods, to the open meadows of Cooke’s Pasture, and to the bird-blind’s peaceful outlook over Broad Brook’s cattail marsh.

BBC and the Northampton Conservation Commission have a memorandum of understanding for the stewardship, protection, preservation, management, and maintenance of the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area.
