The 16,500-acre October Mountain is the largest state forest in Massachusetts. The park's 47 campsites offer a great overnight stay in the large forest. Hiking, exploring, fishing, hunting, mountain biking and cross country skiing are all very common activities throughout the park's hilly woodlands. The Schermerhorn Gorge on the property offers a beautiful facet to the wooded area and the park's autumn leaves attract several visitors yearly. Camping season is from mid-May through mid-October-- there are three yurts available for renting in addition to the other campsites. ATV are also allowed on the trails from May 1 through last Sunday in November.
