Pittsfield State Forest is an easily-accessible 11,000 acre forested recreational area where you can spend a couple of hours or a few days getting back to nature. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy many activities in the forest including horse-back riding and exploring some of the 30 miles of hiking trails. Mountain biking is also popular and Berry Pond offers canoeing, kayaking, swimming, boating and fishing. If you would like to stay overnight you can pitch your tent at one of three basic campgrounds and enjoy great star gazing after dark. In addition, there are 16 miles of trails for off-road vehicles and in winter you can enjoy snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
