MA NET: Section 8

Section 08 is a ridge top trail along the overhanging ledges of Mt. Norwottuck and Long Mountain.  Also home to Daniel Shays’ “horse-caves” of Revolutionary War days. The orange-blazed Robert Frost Trail is co-aligned with the M-M Trail for much of this section. The state-run Notch Visitors Center on MA-116 offers parking, water, restrooms, and natural history exhibits inside. A DCR map of Mt. Norwottuck and Long Mountain is available online.
