Canoe Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary

Reviewed By lpshea - Binghamton, United States

Wonderful place for an easy hike. They have a variety of habitats that attract many different species of birds. Quite flat trails, all well marked. Best spot for birding is what they call the crossover trail that goes over marshy terrain with an abundance of brush. Spotted 8 different birds just on that 100 meter trail alone. Highlight of my hike was a fantastic pic of a Goldfinch. I will be returning.

Lake Onota

Reviewed By FredG565 - Pittsfield, United States

I have a pontoon on this lake as well, best lake in the Berkshires. Great views not to crowded with boats. Bald eagle nest always there - saw the two kids fly last week. Mountain View’s (Greylock included) and a great sand bar to hang out on. Public beach and restrooms available also playground for the kids. This lake is great for paddle boarding and kayaking too. Worth the visit !!!

Bousquet Mountain

Reviewed By securingman - Long Island, United States

Bousquet is a great Place with small lift Lines , economical prices and family atmosphere. It’s plenty for us (Seniors). It reminds us of a small place on Long Island during the 60’s and 70’s. Bald Hill Ski Bowl Where we grew up and started skiing. Sherri and her crew all work hard to make the best of what they have. They’ve made some improvement that has helped a lot. If you’re looking for Big then go to Jiminey Peak., For us Bousquet is just right.!!! Ps: night skiing is a real bargain $20 Thursday’s $10 with music at the Tamarack Lodge with a pint of Shabadoo beer.
