Westville Dam Recreation Area

Border of Southbridge and Sturbridge. Kayaking is very popular here. Great spot for a picnic, multiple fields with the river and trees surrounding you. There are a couple of trails leading around the Dam, with views of the river and woods. Very relaxing.

Annie's Country Kitchen
Possibly the best place to eat in town for breakfast. It is very popular with the locals, and rightly so. The meals are large and at a great price. There are a good amount of specials, from fun ideas with pancakes and waffles, to huge portions of almost everything on the menu on one plate. The atmosphere is cozy and feels like you are sitting in grandma's kitchen. It is not very large, with a small bar in the middle with tables on either side. The walls are covered in artwork from local artists, as well as photos of people in town, and the local Little League teams that the restaurant sponsors over the years. There is a kids menu as well as a lunch menu. Good food for lunch, but more popular with breakfast.
