About Kamick Trailhead
The Kamick Trailhead will bring visitors to an uphill gravel road and snowmobile trail in Savoy Mountain State Forest. The trail will climb upwards and eventually meet the Kamick Trail, which branches to the right and travels through a dense Western Massachusetts forest. Local wildlife species, including birds and butterflies, are easily seen in this area in the summertime. Then, in the wintertime, animal tracks are visible on the snow.
Visitors can also continue on the gravel road and reach the firetower and the top of Borden Mountain. Although visitors cannot climb the firetower, a small scenic view of the mountains is visible over the tops of the surrounding trees. The trail is 1.9 miles in length.
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. In the summertime, the forest has various programming for overnight visitors at the local campground. The area is also open for hunting during the appropriate seasons.
Visitors should park on the shoulder of Adams Road near the gravel path entrance. This trailhead is not accessible by car during winter, so visitors must enter by foot or snowmobile.

Accessibility Assessment
There are no accessible features at this location.
This site is at the end of a gravel road. Visitors must park alongside this road. To reach the trailhead, visitors must travel along the uneven gravel road and across tall grass. The Kamick trail is unmaintained, and therefore covered with tall grass, sticks, and uneven ground. There is a non-accessible picnic table near the trailhead, at the top of a 9% steep grass slope.
