Bear Swamp, Massachusetts, United States
4.0 (6 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Ashfield Bodies of Water
Some pretty woodlands and a remote feeling
Hike three miles of trails, some steep in places, to a nearby beaver pond views of the distant Green Mountains and hillside orchards spreading below.

A Favorite Hike
Several trails, well marked, are of moderate challenge. There are a few streams to ford. You get the feel of being out in the wilderness, or at least as much as you can find in Massachusetts. Ponds, ledge, streams, old ox paths. Nice spot. Surrounded by orchards and farms. A Trustees property.

Not the greatest but okay
I'm visiting all of the Trustees locations. This one was a bit less clearly marked than some. We got a bit turned on the Beaver brook trail. Nice woods and scenic pond.
