Crag Mountain, Mountain summit in Northfield, Massachusetts, United States.
Crag Mountain reaches an elevation of 1,503 feet with a narrow, steep terrain and a knife-edge summit overlooking the surrounding Massachusetts landscape.
The mountain formed 400 million years ago and features quartzite formations that demonstrate the geological development of the Massachusetts region through time.
The Metacomet-Monadnock Trail system on Crag Mountain serves as a central point for nature education and outdoor recreation in Franklin County.
Access to the summit requires following white blazes from Gulf Road, with three USGS benchmarks marking the path within half a mile of the peak.
The mountain channels water through its eastern slopes into Jack's Brook and Keyup Brook, which flow toward the Millers River system.
