Mount Tom State Reservation
The Mount Tom State Reservation, 2,082 acres (8.43 km2), encompasses the Mount Tom Range and is located in the Connecticut River Valley region of Massachusetts, just north of the city of Springfield.
The reservation is noted for its biologic diversity, high cliffs, and rugged scenery. Recreational activities include hiking, picnicking, canoeing, fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice skating. The 110-mile (180 km) Metacomet-Monadnock Trail passes through the reservation as do several low-profile seasonal auto roads.
The Mount Tom State Reservation is also a popular place to observe seasonal raptor migrations.
