Very scenic in the early spring, with foliage just coming out and plenty of water in the babbling brook, which you pass over several times on sturdy wooden bridges. Choice of 1.5 mile lower loop or add on another 2.6 miles for the upper loop - we did both. For more gradual descents (and steeper ascents), suggest going left on... More

Former farm transformed back into near-wilderness. They have signs posted along the trails describing what you see in front of you and how the terrain and vegetation differ depending on what was farmed and when. Very interesting walks in the woods. Pretty easy.

Forest is affiliated with the college (managed by the center for environmental studies and a fair amount of conservation research happens there. Walking loops are really pleasant-- 1.6 mile lower loop and 2.6 mile upper loop. Groomed for cross-country skiing as well. Great, low key way to enjoy nature in the Berkshires.
