I love this place, every time I go it's a different experience. There is trails for every one, with nice little views all over the mountain. Even if you don't want to hike there is picnic spots with grills, a beach area with white sands. If you drive half way up there is a view spanning over new york and a quant little pond. When I went today with my pup it was beautiful clear skys at the bottom, once I got to the top it was a foggy new world.
Very nice area. Berry Pond is really great. You can just stick around for a long time. The whole area is so peaceful and birds chirping is very soothing. We just decided to give it a try and we were very pleasantly surprised. If I am in the area again, I will sure consider visiting again.
We camped here on the group site for 3 nights. It was very pretty. We had a nice space tucked away by ourselves.
The bathrooms are very clean and well taken care of.
The sunset view at night is a must, so pretty. Pictures don't do it justice.
The Pittsfield State Forest, near the Lulu trailhead—a playground for outdoor enthusiasts and their canine companions. With a multitude of hiking trails, it's a place where every path seems to whisper, "Explore me." While some trails show the wear and tear of nature's forces, they remain navigable for those with a sense of adventure. The absence of trash barrels serves as a subtle reminder to tread lightly and respect the land.
It's not just a haven for hikers and their four-legged friends; mountain bikers will find the terrain equally inviting. With slopes that offer just the right blend of challenge and exhilaration, it's a spot where rubber meets dirt in the most satisfying way. All in all, it's a place that offers a little bit of rugged paradise for everyone.
We visited from out of state and enjoyed a long walk here. The trails are not always well-marked, so take a pic of the map if use a trail navigation app. There are a couple of views, but you are mostly in tree prison. You can take your dog on-leash, but we saw a number of bikers with their off-leash dogs who could not control their dogs.
