our trails

The Kenneth Dubuque Memorial State Forest, (formerly the Hawley State Forest), is located 25 miles west of the Connecticut river among the northwestern slopes of Massachusetts' Berkshires. At 7,882 acres it is the state's seventh largest state forest.

Many of the forest's roads, though unpaved, are maintained for vehicular traffic. There are plenty of hills, some long single tracks and lots of double tracks. Dubuque doesn't have a campground and its two small lakes are used mostly for fishing. Dubuque is a mountain biker's paradise nicely juxtaposing moderately hard rolling woods roads and technically difficult singletrack trails.

Explore Greenwood Walls, Snowshoe, Notch, Goatherd’s Quest, Periwinkle, Ring, Cookstove, Homestead Hollow, Cliffside, Camp Rock and NEMBA Trails. Over 20 miles of fun single track and 15+ miles of dirt and gravel woods roads and old town roads.

Park at the lot next to the East Hawley Fire House or at the SCA camp at Hallockville Pond on Rt 8A in West Hawley.
