About Tannery Trailhead - West

The Tannery Trail is a hiking and snowmobiling trail in Savoy Mountain State Forest. This hike is ideal for visitors seeking a more extended pathway to Tannery Falls. Upon arrival at the parking lot, visitors will encounter a wide double-track trail through fern meadows and forests. They will likely greet local Western Massachusetts wildlife along the route, including birds and salamanders. After about 2.5 miles, the path will arrive at the Tannery Falls trailhead, which leads to a series of tall cascades.

When winter arrives, the Tannery Trail and Tannery Road become excellent for snowmobiling following a winter storm. These trails further connect to many other pathways in the state forest.

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.

There is a designated parking lot on the side of Tannery Road. Tannery Road is seasonal and becomes a groomed snowmobile trail in the winter. In winter it may look passable or recently plowed when groomed, but wheeled vehicles are prohibited.
