Between 1.5-2 hours from Boston, grab your swim suit, your hiking shoes, and get ready soak up the sun at Chapel Brook Falls.

​First, park your car right next to the trail and begin hiking the roughly 1.8 mile trek. For those more experienced there is a large rock wall to climb. After climbing and sweating (on a hot 90 degree day), take a nice cool dip in a quad-level water fall. Great place to meet friends and have a few drinks or take the kids for an experience like no other.

Around 20 minutes south there is a cheap kayak/canoe/paddle board rental shack at Barton Cove in Gill, Mass. called Barton Cove Camping and Paddlesports. For two hours you can rent one of their vessels for $26. Definitely worth the rent even if you can only last an hour. With great views and a small island to jump out on and go for a swim it is perfect for an afternoon paddle. ​

Keep Hiking Forward!

Love to see people enjoying the outdoors. Great idea telling folks how to find your hiking spot. Cone on Boston, get outside.

Great looking trail!
My favorite in Western MA is the Mt. Tom range. You can park in the center of the Reservation then go either north or south on the M&M trail. Both hikes are a little hilly with interesting views and interesting terrain.
