Central Massachusetts Offroading - The 5-college area is a big draw for various weekend activities, and there's a lot to do outdoors. Take these two undiscovered rides in gorgeous woodlands, for example.
Flyfishing the Deerfield River - Better known for saltwater fishing than freshwater, the Bay State is home to a trout stream that rivals some of the best in the west: the Deerfield.
Going Where the Snow Is - Just east of the Connecticut River near Deerfield is Mount Toby, one of the best places in the region to strap on a pair of backcountry skis.
Hiking Alander Mountain - Tucked in the southwest corner of Massachusetts about three hours from New York, Alander Mountain has the best views in western Massachusetts.
Hiking Mount Race and Mount Everett - Very close to Alander, the exposed rocky ridges of this hike offer spectacular vistas.
More on Mount Everett - A two-day weekend getaway in the Mount Everett area.
A Ramble through Beartown State Forest - Under three hours from Boston and near Great Barrington, Beartown offers camping, swimming, and this great hike that incorporates a section of the AT.
Dubuque State Forest - In the northerly reaches of the Berkshires near Adams, Dubuque State Forest offers up quiet, rugged, forested hills, rocky slopes, cascading brooks, wildflowers, and wetlands along a varied and interesting hiking circuit.
To the Top of Mount Greylock - By bike to the summit of Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts.
Along the Deerfield - Not far from Greylock, a loop that follows the Deerfield River, one of New England's white-water classics.
Touring the Mohawk Trail - Running from Greenfield west to Williamstown, the old Mohawk Trail is one of New England's classic scenic drives.
Massachusetts Alpine Skiing - A trio of Bay State ski resorts.
Skinny Skiing the McLean Game Refuge - On the northeast edge of the Litchfield Hills, a place to find trackless, remote backcountry skiing that feels more like interior Maine.
