Brought my 86 year old grandfather here to get his first laps on the year in. This was my first time here thanks to being an Indi Pass holder. We both had an enjoyable time. T We took five runs then went inside for some food. Prices were manageable. As I was eating I watched the line at the register grow into the line to get food, happy I wasn't in it. We took a couple more runs and called it a day. Personally not a place I would come by myself. Terrain is not at my difficulty, and for the same drive I could be at bigger mountains. But, would not deter anyone from coming and would absolutely recommend here as a place to ski! Sunday 1.4.26

My family loves coming to Mohawk Mountain! Our son was 15 when he took his first skiing lesson…read morethere and they were great at teaching him. He learnt fast and they had all ages learning. We're already planning our 3rd trip back this year after Christmas. The bunny slope is just enough for me and my husband. Kiddo, if he wants to, can get in harder slopes. The staff are super friendly and will help you with your boots if you want (I always need help). The lift operators are super friendly. The grounds are very pretty with all that snow. Parking lot is very big and on some days they will guide you on where to park. Also, if you keep your lift card (we keep them in our gloves all year) they will be able to see your previous sizings and the gear you had last time. I think re-using your card also saves you something (like $15) but don't quote me. We always rent equipment there, and yes skiing is expensive but if your family only wants to do the bunny hills runs, the tix is cheaper ($30 as of 2025). The bunny hill(s) is long enough to feel like you've a great skier and conquered something until you see some little snowboarding 3 year old zoom passed you. But our motto at our age, is we leave with no broken bones. PS- The Lodge is right nearby and has amazing chicken fingers plus the hot chocolate hits! Love sitting by the big fireplace to relax and warm up for last run of the day. PPS- We made the mistake of skiing right after a major snowstorm and there was too much powder. We should have waited until the next day or at least gone later when the tracks were worked on/skied on.

Granville State Forest is a beautiful preserve offering great easy hiking, wonderful campgrounds,…read morefishing, and the ability to commune with nature. The Hubbard River, a fairly wide and fast flowing body of water, is followed by a paved closed road that formerly lead to a now defunct campground. This route crosses the entire park - which is about three and a half miles. The path is fairly level and is easy enough even for children, and the paved road is handicapped accessible for a powered chair or scooter. It wasn't crowded at all on a sunny Sunday, and I enjoyed this place tremendously.

It's a 1.5 mile forest loop of pretty much easy difficulty. The terrain is mostly flat with just a few small inclines. The path transitions from pine needles to grass to heavy leaves and is mostly unencumbered, save for a few rocky patches, some tree roots, and muddy tire tracks here and there. We parked at the State Forest Headquarters, traveled North on the HQ Trail N, turned left onto the Corduroy Trail, turned left on the CCC trail, and completed the loop by taking another left onto the HQ Trail S. All of these trails were clearly marked with fantastic signage and blaze markers. It was amazing to us how after about ten steps into the trail, you are in total solitude in the woods. We didn't see another human being during our 1.5 mile hike. The forest scenery is very pretty, but there wasn't a lot to see -no waterfalls, almost no water views, no cool rock formations, and just one lonely footbridge over a swampy section. For a low impact introductory hike, this really suited our needs.

It is a little gem in the Berkshires, with a nice network of well-marked, well-maintained trails, and enough topographic and scenic diversity to give a good workout in a pretty New England forest. The prices are very reasonable, and equipment is available for sale or rent. Bathroom facilities are available in the house, and the B&B dining room is a nice place to take a break between runs on a cold day or settle in for a snack and a cup of hot cocoa before going home. The proprietors, Linda and Dave, are very hospitable, as B&B hosts tend to be. Condition reports are posted on their website, and I have found them to be accurate. My son and I have been there several times, and it is one of our favorite places, well worth the trip for us to get in a fun day of skiing at a nice place with friendly, welcoming hosts.

Wanted to get off…read morethe paved roads and do a little carving and some mud and dirt on our big Bmw adventure bikes. While these bikes are big and heavy they do cut these roads down to size pretty easily. Whether it's hitting jumps popping wheelies or skidding around dirt turns at high speed they perform very well. Decided to head to October mountain as the dirt roads there can be anything from easy to extremely challenging for the experienced rider. Additionally the views and scenery are generally outstanding. As always at the top of the mountain we got a great view of Mount Greylock across the way. After relaxing and maxing for a couple minutes we headed down to the Reservoir parking area and checked out the water. There was a few people fishing and relaxing with a picnic lunch when we were there. Did not stay very long and was back on the dirt roads looking for the more challenging areas and of course as always we found them. Huge potholes deep water and lots of rocks to crush with our cycles. After a few hours of fun filled mud covered Riding we decided we were going to go get some food then head home. What a beautiful day sunshine perfect temperatures and great scenery.

"Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh"…read more Do you know that the original title of the song we know today as Jingle Bells was "The One Horse Open Sleigh?" Yup, it was written in 1857 and it's original purpose was lost to history. Some say it was written for a Sunday School choir, others say it was a drinking song. So, take your pick. You'll see a bunch of beautifully painted one-horse open sleighs along Hopmeadow Street as part of the Simsbury Sleigh Trail. The sleighs all date back to the mid-1800's and are part of a Simsbury Historical Society's winter program to refurbish these aging antiques, and sponsor the painting of decorative murals on the sleds by local artists. The artists worked within the theme of "Winter Scenes" and were to illustrate life in the 1850's. Many of the sleighs were rotting away in old barns and their owners welcomed the opportunity to donate them. There was a lot of rodent and insect and deterioration damage to renovate before they were ready for the artist's palette and paintbrush. The sleds have gorgeous color paintings of landscapes, a bobcat, a fox, bears, horses, an owl, a cardinal, villages, farms, local landmarks, a snowman, and children sledding. The detail is amazing, and the colors are gorgeous. What a nice way to honor the past and add some splashes of color and creativity to our lives! (Word of warning -the exhibit closes at the end of February)

Heidi was very complimentary and informed me about how to get to my room. The rooms were comfortable and warm. This is the first place I've ever stayed where I really noticed how warm the house was kept. This was great, because it was a little chilly. We had a great conversation - Heidi was very friendly and informed me about the area. In the morning, I was offered pancakes, waffles, French toast, etc. I had the French roast and it came with bacon and pineapple. It was really yummy. I would definitely stay here again!

Even though apparently several other rooms were booked at the same time, we felt like we had the place to ourselves. The rooms were immaculately clean and had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed. The decorating is minimal and isn't fussy but still made us feel at home. Breakfast in the morning was great--homemade waffles, fresh pineapple, and big serving of bacon. Would love to stay here again. Tip for finding the Inn: If you're driving from Canaan, look for the Inn's sign on the left or for the tractor crossing sign on the right side of the road.

It had water and electric and great views of the woods, a little creek below and it offered the right amount of privacy. We really enjoyed our stay here. We stuck mostly to our site for the two nights we were here. There is a pool, it's small but decent on site although next to the busy road. There is a rec hall but doesn't have much to offer except for a Ping pong table, an old piano and some table and chairs. It's pretty outdated and run down as are the bathrooms although clean and plenty of hot water. The store on site in the office has a few things on the shelf but shouldn't rely on getting things there. There is a country store few miles down the road, Katie's which has everything, butcher shop, beer, wine, fresh baked pies and pretty much anything you can think of. The outhouse/ports potty up in the Maple Hill site area is very clean and was fine to use. CJ who runs the place and lives on site is great and is happy to help if you need something. Overall we loved the site we were on, there were some on Maple Hill that were wooded and secluded as well, H is halfway from office/pool to end so great location. If you are looking for a place to just hang out on your site, enjoy the woods and camping experience without running from activity to activity you find at other resorts and don't need a lot of frilly things then it's a good place for you.
