GUIDE

Welcome

The Midstate Trail is a scenic footpath located in Worcester County, 45 miles west of Boston. This 92 mile hiking trail extends from Rhode Island crossing the gentle hills of central Massachusetts and eventually connecting to the Wapack Trail  in New Hampshire. The Midstate Trail is highly accessible,  easy to hike and the best way to enjoy the natural side of the region......

The Midstate Trail is close to large population centers yet it is remarkably wild and scenic.  Wachusett Mountain and Mount Watatic, the last undeveloped mountain east of the Connecticut River, can be found on the Trail as well as many interesting geologic, historic and natural features....

 

 Ice Storm Alert!!!

The Midstate Trail was severely impacted by the ice storm in December 2008. The northern region experienced serious damage from the storm. If one must go on the trail they are advised to use caution and common sense. There is a reason why hanging trees and limbs are called widow makers. 

The trails at Wachusett Mountain State Reservation and Leominster State Forest have been CLOSED  until further notice until they can be cleared.

Many volunteers will be needed to help in the cleanup. Most of the cleanup efforts will begin in Spring. Let us know if you can help out and email us at HELP!
