Berkshire County, which boasts nearly 900 miles of mapped trails, is stepping up its hiking game this summer.
The county is elevating its hiking profile after the first-of-its-kind Berkshire Outdoor Recreation Plan was released in July. The 210-page document by the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission and private investment group Mill Town Capital was created to boost the region’s profile as an outdoor recreation destination. It features plans for new and improved hiking and biking trails, additional campgrounds, updated outdoor facilities, and more.
