Main Gate Parking (at Hudson Road in Sudbury)

In the past, Refuge visitors were able to park their cars in the Sudbury State Forest parking area off Hudson Road. This property was transferred last year to the State Department of Fire Services, who closed the parking area to public access beginning in June 2007.
