About Haskins Trailhead

The Haskins Trail is a short hiking and snowmobiling trail in Savoy Mountain State Forest. Visitors will find a long double-track road leading into a tranquil Western Massachusetts forest ecosystem. The path will travel alongside ash trees and large white pines, and visitors will likely see many local wildlife species. Eventually, visitors will reach a junction with the Bog Pond Trail (which is only for hiking). This trail provides scenic views of a picturesque pond and its edges. When the weather cools, the surrounding forest bursts with the yellows and oranges of fall foliage.

Savoy Mountain State Forest is a large outdoor recreation area with plenty of opportunities for an enjoyable day in the Berkshires. The forest features campsites, swimming areas, and over 50 miles of hiking trails. The area is also open for hunting during the appropriate seasons.

This section of the Haskins Trail is part of the Mahican-Mohawk Trail, which spans from Deerfield to North Adams. The trail was used by Native Americans to travel between the Hudson River Valley and the Connecticut River.

Because there is no designated parking, visitors should park on the shoulder of Central Shaft Road.
