Pocumtuck Ridge Trail, Protected ridge trail between Deerfield and Greenfield, Massachusetts.
The Pocumtuck Ridge Trail extends 20 miles along a ridgeline, offering views of the Deerfield River and Connecticut River valleys from cliff faces.
The trail traverses lands once inhabited by the Pocumtuck Native Americans, who lived in the Connecticut River Valley until the early 1600s.
The ridgeline represents a central element in Native American folklore, believed to be the petrified remains of a giant beaver according to legends.
Blue trail markers guide hikers through seven distinct sections with parking available at Route 116, Hillside Road, Pine Nook Road, and Keets Road.
The trail features numerous traprock cliffs formed by ancient volcanic activity, creating distinctive geological formations along the Massachusetts landscape.
