Skate Park
The Berlin Pass Trailhead will bring visitors to an expansive hiking area in Williamstown. Overall, visitors will have several options for an enjoyable day of outdoor recreation in the Berkshires.
Leaving from the trailhead toward the south, visitors will soon see the old Williams ski hill. When enough snow has fallen in winter, this hill is an excellent place for backcountry skiing. But, during the summertime, visitors can hike this trail to the summit of Mount Berlin. Though the path is extremely steep, it is both short and rewarding. Eventually, after about one mile, the trail will reach a grassy field at the peak. This area offers beautiful scenic views of the surrounding Berkshires toward the east.
Meanwhile, heading north from the trailhead on the Berlin Pass Trail, hikers will climb on a moderate slope through a dense forest toward the Taconic Crest. Plenty of local Western Massachusetts wildlife species, including songbirds and amphibians, are visible in this forest throughout the summertime. There are also many wildflower species in spring. By linking the Old Williams Ski Trail with this pathway, visitors can loop back to the parking lot.
There is a large parking lot at the end of Berlin Road. Further down the road, visitors will also find a trailhead for a small waterfall.
