About Glen Meadow Loop Trailhead

This trailhead brings visitors to the Glen Meadows Loop in Greylock Glen. Upon leaving the parking lot, visitors will take a short pathway to the loop trail. The Glen Meadows Loop is an easy, family-friendly hiking trail through wetlands and fields. The 1.5-mile path is consistently flat, wide, and packed. During spring and summer, the trail features flowery meadows with expansive scenic views of the Berkshires. These fields are also excellent spots to view local wildlife species. Birds fly between the weeping willows in the meadow, and insects are easily heard chattering in the afternoon. Elsewhere, the trail travels alongside wetlands and tranquil ponds. Visitors can listen to the frogs and watch Mount Greylock reflect across the water's ripples. Forest sections of the pathway also offer the perfect spot to watch spring flowers sprout on the forest floor.

Visitors will also find an idyllic picnic area near the trailhead. Tables and a gazebo rest adjacent to a pond, allowing visitors to lounge and eat lunch with views of the mountains. When fall arrives, these mountains become vibrant with yellows and oranges as the leaves change color across Western Massachusetts.

Parking for this trailhead can be found off Gould Road, north of the entrance to the Greylock Glen Resort.
