The great outdoors beckons year-‘round in Western Massachusetts!

We’re pretty much surrounded by woods, water and hills. And with those kinds of resources so close by, it’s perfectly natural that it’s easy to get out there and get a little lost, just for fun of course.

The Connecticut River winds through this lovely valley from north to south, and along with its main tributaries, the ancient waterway affords abundant recreational opportunities.

Swimming and boating is popular along its length, which features many natural sandy beaches. Powerboats, canoes and kayaks can be rented at several up-valley marinas in South Hadley, Hadley and Gill. Springfield’s Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club (PVRC) is another access point emphasizing humanpowered craft, with rowing and dragon boat programs for youth and adults plus canoe, kayak and stand-up board rentals.

The stunning Deerfield River is along the top of our region, running clear and cold. Fly-fishermen flock here, and in Charlemont, Berkshire East Canopy Tours & Ski Area offers zip lines, whitewater rafting, a mountain coaster, tree courses plus a bike park. But wait….we have Zoar Outdoor providing additional zip-lining trails and rafting along with Crabapple Whitewater, too. Clearly this region is an adventurer’s dream.

The huge Quabbin Reservoir, partially in Ware and Belchertown, supplies drinking water to much of Greater Boston. Here in Western Massachusetts, it serves as a virtual wilderness, filled with outdoor recreational opportunities.

Limited fishing is permitted by boat and from shore, and the reservation itself provides additional hiking trails and nature observation points. Take the 2-mile climb to the Quabbin Reservoir Observation Tower and relax in the fields at the top that overlook the valley.

24

For those who fancy sleeping under the stars, there’s no shortage of excellent campgrounds in the region. Among the most popular is Sunsetview Farm Campground, providing family camping close to Six Flags New England and many Springfield-area attractions.

And don’t worry, golfers, we’re not about to leave you out! Western Massachusetts has dozens of excellent public and semi-private courses. Of particular note is The Ranch in Southwick. This 7,200 yard, par 72 course is ranked among the best in the nation by Golf Digest and Golf World. Up north in Bernardston, Crumpin-Fox provides a superlative course in a beautiful woodland setting.

Intrigued?

You should be!

In Western Massachusetts, when someone says “Get out” you’ll do it gladly, because there’s tons of fun “out there”.
