Savoy Mountain State Forest

Savoy Mountain State Forest is a large woodland area stretching across the Hoosac Mountain Range in northwestern Massachusetts. It contains multiple mountain peaks, several ponds, and a network of trails that vary in difficulty and length.

This forest was established as a conservation area in 1918 on abandoned farmland in the region. It was expanded and developed through projects by the Civilian Conservation Corps, which shaped its current layout and infrastructure.

Ancient hemlock and spruce trees form the heart of this forest, creating a sense of timeless woodland. These old-growth stands define the place as a refuge where nature has been left largely untouched.

The forest offers camping and simple cabin accommodations for overnight stays, with varying levels of comfort. The best time to visit is from May through October, when the weather is mild and facilities are fully open.

Two waterfalls grace the forest landscape: Parker Brook Falls and Tannery Falls, each creating a notable natural feature. Tannery Falls drops in a steep cascade and becomes a destination that many hikers seek out along their routes.
