Mount Grace State Forest

Mount Grace State Forest is a state forest in Warwick, Massachusetts, covering diverse landscapes at significant elevation. The property includes forested areas, wetlands, and open fields distributed across the terrain.

The forest was established in 1920 following major deforestation of the mountain during the 1800s. Its creation reflected conservation efforts to restore the natural landscape after decades of timber removal.

The mountain's name reflects Native American heritage and early colonial narratives that shaped the region. Walking through the forest, visitors encounter a landscape tied to these historical roots.

The site offers multiple trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, with parking available near the entrance. Visitors should prepare for hilly terrain and bring proper footwear for the various routes.

A fire lookout tower from the 1930s stands at the summit and provides sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. On clear days, visitors can see Mount Monadnock and the wooded terrain stretching across the region.
