A clear, cold river cascades through historic Mohawk Trail State Forest. In this rustic and natural setting, visitors can enjoy 53 campsites and 6 overnight log cabins. Mohawk Trail has over 18 miles of rivers and streams for excellent trout fishing, plus a swimming area.

Mohawk Trail State Forest has abundant recreational opportunities. Wade or fish in the nearby streams and brooks. Fishing in a nearby section of the Deerfield River is limited to catch and release with artificial lures only.
