Mohawk Trail State Forest
old-growth pines along the Deerfield River gorge
Mohawk Trail State Forest is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Mohawk Trail because it gives the drive its texture: old-growth pines along the Deerfield River gorge. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
