Massachusetts road trips & hidden gems.
The stops worth changing a travel day for in Massachusetts — crowd-voted gems, events worth traveling for, and the public golf you can actually book. Curated by Roamward, the scenic road-trip planner.
Happening in Massachusetts
World Cup 2026
Barely two dozen marquee events hit the whole country in a year — and Massachusetts has one this June. Roamward builds the trip around it: the scenic route in, the detours worth a slack day, and when rooms sell out.

A stone tower and overlook gaze across the water that drowned four entire towns in 1938 to slake Boston's thirst — an eerie, beautiful view and lost-town history in central Massachusetts.
Fifty smooth pools carved into riverbed rock by 14,000 years of swirling ice-age meltwater, paired with the adjacent flower-covered trolley bridge in this artsy northwestern village.
A genuine medieval-style stone castle built by an eccentric inventor, perched on cliffs above the crashing Atlantic in Gloucester, with a great hall and pipe organ.
An abandoned colonial settlement in the Cape Ann woods where Depression-era stonecutters carved sayings like "Help Mother" and "Never Try Never Win" into giant boulders.
In the far southwest Berkshires, the state's tallest waterfall splits around a jutting rock into a twin cascade before dropping into a serene pool — a stunning, leaf-season favorite.
