Wild Acres Pittsfield Group Hike
Western Mass Hilltown Hikers Group Hike
Wild Acres Pittsfield
August 23rd at 10:00 am
Parking: 500 South Mountain Road, Pittsfield, MA 01201
Hike Rating: Fun! Easy 2 miles, several loops
Join us for a fun hike at Pittsfield’s hidden oasis, Wild Acres. A large parking lot with pavilions for events makes this a great family friendly destination for a day out and a place to picnic lunch and there is so much more….Short and easy hiking loops great for dog walking and children, wetlands and ponds for wildlife viewing in all seasons all with many benches. There is a surprise around every bend here including a lookout tower that overlooks a marsh with wide views of the Yokun Ridge. Probably the most fun here is getting up close to the Pittsfield Municipal Airport where you can watch the planes take off and land, watch from the ground or from the tower all with an excellent view of the Berkshires. Bring the family and a picnic lunch let’s go have some fun!
