Located in Southern Worcester County in Massachusetts, the town of Douglas borders Oxford and Sutton on the North, Uxbridge and Northbridge on the East, Webster on the West, and Rhode Island and Connecticut on the South.

Douglas is a small town that includes the sizable 5,525 acre Douglas State Forest, a publicly owned forest that borders both Connecticut and Rhode Island and includes Wallum Lake and a rare Atlantic white cedar swamp, part of which is designated as a Massachusetts Wildland.

At the southwest corner of the park, where the three states are conjoined, lies the tri-state marker, which can be reached by a short offshoot of the 92-mile Midstate Trail. The forest's many trails are used for walking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing, while the lake offers fishing, swimming, and boating. Picnicking, restricted hunting, and a group day-use area are some of the other amenities of this great forest.

In the Town Common, the Soldiers Monument stands as a dedication to the memory of the many unknown soldiers and sailors that were lost during the American Revolution, The Civil War, and the Spanish American War.

For seniors living in Douglas, the Douglas Adult Social Center is a terrific place to meet with friends for fun events, crafts, and activities. Their weekly schedule of programs includes painting, Zumba, chair yoga, Bingo, luncheons, and more.
