Mahican-Mohawk Trail

Mahican-Mohawk Trail

The Mahican-Mohawk Trail is a long distance hiking trail that is under construction.

Originally a trail used by Native Americans, the Mahican-Mohawk Trail faded away as the automobile became popular and subsequently, the Mohawk Trail was constructed. In 1992, after some research by Williams College students, volunteers started to reclaim the trail.

There are currently multiple sections open in western Massachusetts, including one that follows the old New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad grade. It is estimated that 34 miles (55 km) of trail are currently open. A large portion of the open trail is located in the Mohawk Trail State Forest and the South River State Forest.

Upon completion, the trail is projected to reach from the Deerfield River to the Hudson River.
