Kudos to Great Barrington for its Lake Mansfield Improvement Project

I walked the new pedestrian path that joins the boat launch to the beach last weekend, and the landscaping along the shore will serve to make Lake Mansfield a peaceful respite for our community as well as an inviting destination for visitors.

To the editor:

I want to extend my appreciation and compliment the Town of Great Barrington on the beautiful renovation they are performing at Lake Mansfield. I walked the new pedestrian path that joins the boat launch to the beach last weekend, and the landscaping along the shore—newly installed benches, bridge railing, paths at the beach, and new parking lot—will serve to make Lake Mansfield a peaceful respite for our community as well as an inviting destination for visitors. Well done!
