Wet trail conditions in the Berkshires will delay the opening of motorized trails there for about a week. Heavy April snow in the region has only recently melted so trails are still wet and vulnerable to damage in Beartown State Forest, October Mt. State Forest, Pittsfield State Forest and Tolland State Forest. These trails are now scheduled to open on Wednesday, May 9th.

Off highway motorcycle trails in southeastern MA are opening on schedule.

There is no delay for trail opening at F. Gilbert Hills State Forest, Franklin State Forest, Wrentham State Forest. Opening day is Tuesday, May 1

Freetown State Forest, has historically delayed the opening to accomodate a Native American event. They will open to motorcycle use Monday, May 7.

Thank you for helping to protect and sustain these trails by delaying your riding until conditions improve.
