The Outdoors

Cranberry Pond is a small pond at the foot of Mt Toby State Forest in Sunderland. It is quiet water and has a very easy parking and access point. It is great for a morning or afternoon paddle. Not too many folks go here, so if you are looking for some peace in the woods of western Mass, this is a great place. There is a railroad running through the East side of the pond which is used quite infrequently. Good for beginners and kids.

Mount Toby Reservation is more than 1,200 feet in height and looms over the middle Connecticut River Valley offering outstanding panoramic views to those who make the six-mile trek on a moderate hiking trail. There are shorter hiking trials within the state forest as well. Related geologically to Mount Sugarloaf, Mount Toby features cliffs, caves, waterfalls, wetlands and open fields. The state forest is owned and managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and is considered part of the Connecticut River Greenway State Park. One of the best views of Mount Toby from the byway is at the Deerfield-Sunderland Bridge over the Connecticut River on Route 116.
