I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
You never know where you can stumble upon a hidden gem in the Bay State. But we found one tucked away in plain site in Clarksburg. This tiny state park hiding in Clarksburg, Massachusetts is a worthwhile place to spend some time if you’re looking for a quiet place to connect with nature.
The tiny town of Clarksburg is located in Berkshire County near Pittsfield, Massachusetts. It only has a population of 1,650 residents and so much natural beauty to explore.
Clarksburg State Park is a beautiful preserve of 368 acres that offers mountain views. You'll be able to see the Hoosac Range and Mount Greylock from here. You can view the Green Mountains of Vermont from here as well.
You'll want to take a trail that leads to the serene Mauserts Pond (also known as Clarksburg Reservoir). This 49-acre man-made pond is a great place to go swimming and fishing.
If you want to maximize your time here, consider reserving a campsite. There are 45 campsites by the pond and the campground includes restrooms and showers.
