Connecticut River Greenway State Park

The Connecticut River Greenway State Park spans 1,048 acres with 12 miles of protected shoreline across western Massachusetts.

The Department of Conservation and Recreation started acquiring the park's parcels in 1986, expanding existing state holdings like Mount Tom State Reservation.

The park integrates multiple preserved spaces, including archaeological sites, historic locations, and protected farmlands along the Connecticut River valley.

Multiple access points provide facilities for boats, with locations in Northfield, Gill, Sunderland, and Northampton offering parking and launch ramps.

The protected shoreline contains critical wildlife habitats while connecting different state parks, national refuges, and conservation trust properties.
