Mount Everett State Reservation

A Mount Everett State Reservation camping trip is the perfect escape for those looking to immerse themselves in nature's grandeur. Located near the tri-state junction of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York, this Massachusetts gem offers a scenic drive through picturesque landscapes, whether you're coming from Boston, southern Connecticut, or NYC. Though Mount Everett might not rival its towering Asian counterpart in height, the journey to its 2,624-foot summit is nothing short of exhilarating. As campers ascend, they're met with rugged landscapes, where the wind dances freely and trees stand stunted yet resilient. Reaching the top, the reward is a panorama that feels as if it stretches endlessly, offering sights that captivate the soul. For those seeking an added layer of adventure, the trail from Race Brook Falls off of Route 41 in Sheffield, Massachusetts, is a must. This path not only challenges with an elevation gain of about 1,800 ft but also mesmerizes with the sight of one of the Berkshires' most picturesque waterfalls. And while the old firetower may no longer stand, the serenity of the summit and the myriad vantage points ensure that the views remain unparalleled. Whether it's the challenge of the hike, the allure of cascading waterfalls, or the promise of unmatched vistas, Mount Everett State Reservation beckons campers with its unique blend of nature's wonders. So, gear up and set out on an adventure that promises memories that will last a lifetime.
