Tioga Mine Pit — Attraction in Cohasset

Fantastic place to snorkel or paddleboard. Clean, cool water with easy access to drop off a kayak or paddleboard.

There are some porta potties somewhere on site.

A small beach with a decent area before it drops off for the not-so-strong swimmers.

I had thought this was a no motors allowed site - but there was some teens with a boat that was going back and forth to a site with a party vibe.

Didn't appreciate the wake for paddleboarding and made me nervous while swimming/snorkeling on surface. When husband and I came the previous year, no motorized equipment was on the pit. So not sure how often that happens.

Mostly clean on the beach, unfortunately, some cigarette butts. (I never understand - people come to nature to enjoy - but don't feel compelled to pack out their own mess.)

If you spend any decent amount of time in the water you'll def need a hot bath or shower later as it's pretty cold/cool or you'll take a long time to warm up. Not for the faint hearted that way. ;)...

Was a great little get away from the cities. The water was crystal clear, vibrant, and just breathtakingly blue. A bit cold when you jump in at first but you get used to it quickly. You see everything deep down below from fallen trees, huge rocks, even a car! We were the first ones there that day and we paddleboarded out to the middle of the lake and took a nap! More people showed up and the beach areas quickly filled up. Not sure how people would put their boats in since the boat access is very sandy and steep. Highly suggest to at least...

Just went yesterday. Maybe it’s the timing but lots of people with loud music, drinking and even pouring beer into the lake. Water looked way better in photos than in real life. It’s also a clothing optional lake so you’re not allowed to...
