Mount Washington State Forest

Mount Washington State Forest spans 4,619 acres of protected land with 30 miles of trails through northern hardwood forest at elevations reaching 1,470 feet.

The forest establishment occurred in 1958 through land donations from Alfred F. Intemann and Cornelia Van der Smissen Intemann, who continued contributing parcels until 1968.

The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation maintains this forest, emphasizing environmental protection through Leave No Trace practices and regulated recreational activities.

Visitors can access designated parking areas on East Street, with facilities including restrooms, picnic spots, and multiple trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

A stone marker within the forest territory indicates the exact meeting point of three states: Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York.
