Not only can you go hiking and enjoy the scenery in the spring and summer, but during the fall, the area turns into a sea of gold and red hues. And in the winter, the opportunities for outdoor activities are abundant. If you’re looking for a year-round vacation in Massachusetts, head to the Berkshires and spend some time at Pontoosuc Lake.
