Description

This section of the trail runs along the Provin Mountain Ridge, past the former facility of TV station WWLP to the Springfield Underground Reservoir, and then down to the Westfield River in Robinson State Forest Please take note of No Trespassing signs at the beginning of the trail and stay out of the quarry and continue on the trail to the left.

Note: There is no potable water in this section.

The Westfield River is often crossable on foot, however, there is a volunteer who is available to drive people when the water is too high. To arrange this with a few days notice, please email Heather. Otherwise, hikers will need to hike a 3 mile road walk west on MA 187, then east on US 20 to cross the Westfield River.
