October Mountain State Forest at 16,500 acres has plenty of exploring, last weekend we went in from the Lenox side on New Lenox Road where Mill Brook flows down from Farnham Reservoir. This time of year you can drive up the really rough dirt road up past the old Mill Brook Reservoir and park. We hiked from here into Washington following the old colonial Congdon Road which is stone lined. No trails are marked here so make sure you have gps. The three Congdon cellar holes and old Schoolhouse are here, the old road is stone lined. The mosquitos were out of hand, we will return in cooler weather to get a better look at the cellar holes and explore further. Detailed map courtesy of Christy Butler find more info in his book “Berkshire Destinations”.
