About CCC Dynamite Trailhead

Close to the parking area, there are many trails. The C.C.C. Dynamite Trail will bring visitors to the Appalachian Trail at Jones Nose. The Hopper Trail leaves from the beginning of Sperry Road and treks to the summit of Mount Greylock. 

The Sperry Road Trail will bring visitors to Sperry Road Campground in Mount Greylock State Reservation. This reservable hike in back-country camping area features an expansive array of shelters and tent sites, offering a perfect place to stay with family or friends. Visitors will find several group sites, 18 individual sites, and four backcountry bathroom facilities. Each campsite offers a fire pit, a bear box, and a picnic table.

Sperry Road Campground is temporarily closed for renovations and upgrades.

Around the campground, there are numerous hiking trails. Leaving directly from the group site area, visitors can hike on a steep trail toward Deer Hill Falls or March Cataract Falls. These waterfalls are tranquil spots to rest and picnic on warm summer days in Western Massachusetts. Further down Sperry Road, visitors will also access expansive scenic views of the Berkshires at Stony Ledge.

Visitors will find a small parking lot on the shoulder of Rockwell Road, just across from the entrance to Sperry Road. When Rockwell Road is closed between late October and mid-May, this trailhead is only accessible by foot or snowmobile.

The State Reservation is open for hunting from Columbus Day to May 19th; however, it is prohibited within the Summit's War Memorial Park any time of the year.
