Wachusett Reservoir

West Boylston is unique because it has many recreational activities despite it's small size. You can bike, horseback, walk on trails, fish, and go to the town pool all outside. Our town also features a cinema, many little stores and food markets, Walmart, a college, and two tattoo parlors.

The Virtual Tour assignment is to take pictures of a place where people in West Boylston go. Wachusett Reservoir is a fun place to hang out outdoors and get some sun. There are many different activities and you can enjoy being on the water. I chose it because it's pretty and is a interesting place to go for a walk and watch the local fishermen and bikers.
