Mount Tom State Reservation is one of my favorite places to go hiking, enjoy the scenery and relax on top of the mountain cliffs looking over beautiful Easthampton Massachusetts. if you ever get a chance to watch the sunset from the cliffs, I guarantee you will be coming back . Even though I was in the clouds today it was still beautiful. With a vast range of trails from challenging too easy you can have an adventure with the whole family, friends or if you just want to go for a nice little hike in the woods. the reservation also has an amazing Park and playground that my son loves to play on as well as a pavilion for parties. there are many different places you can visit in the reservation including the Erie ruins and the watch tower. I would encourage everybody to get outside and go visit Mount Tom State Reservation! the place is pretty awesome! and Hiking is good for your health ! get outside!!!

Not always so clear which roads are open at what times. Otherwise, trails are nice and clear, the views are nice, and the walking isn't terribly strenuous. The ruins at the top offer a bit of shade and good views with a fun backstory. Bring your own water and waste bags as there's no water taps or waste bins along the trail. Small playground area near the information building. I only docked a * because one or more of the access roads close by 6pm or close before entering the park. Go early to park as close as you can to the Eyrie House ruins, they are a bit of a hike. Great variety of birds. Lots of rhododendrons, so it must be spectacular when they're in bloom or when the trees turn in autum.

This trip was courtesy of Atlas Obscure. An international website that has listed obscure places you would not generally find in a travel brochure as places of interest. It is an awesome resource for the adventurer! This day I went to Mt Tom National Park and hiked about 2 miles to the ruins of the Erie Hotel, built in 1860 and burned down at the turn of the twentieth century. A horse crematorium caught fire and the fire spread to the hotel. Well worth the hike. Besides this area, the Park has many trails and a large play area for children. There were a lot of people but everyone was observing covid guidelines. It was a beautiful day.

Located at 125 Reservation Road in Holyoke Massachusetts. Beautiful look out points overlooking East Hampton. Closing time is 4PM. There are plenty of trails to hike on, and there are maps available or you can scan the code at the entrance for a map to your smartphone. There is a tower called Bray Tower, that you can go up on to look out over the valley. Going here made for a great afternoon! If you are looking for a nice place in nature, in the woods, then check this place out.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Not to mention that it’s massive. There is a beautiful lake and several streams you can find along the forest. If you like hiking, there are plenty of trails that you can take and some of them lead to the summit of Mt Tom. They are also picnic areas and restrooms that are accessible to anybody. This place is also mostly wheelchair friendly. Had a fantastic time using my camera to take some amazing photos. 10 out of 10 recommend coming here.

Mt Tom is a local favorite. Parking is free the grounds are well kept and there's lots to take in. Picnic grounds, restrooms/porta potties, tons of trails, and a lookout tower. You can drive up the mountain and take your children to a lovely playscape.The eyrie House ruins are super interesting and not too difficult to get to. Great for a relaxing hike, family outing, or convincing someone on tinder you're really into outdoors!
