Want to fly-fish or paddle? You can do that here too, in some of the most enchanting settings imaginable.
Consider thought-provoking and engaging installations at MASS MoCA in neighboring North Adams. You’ll find ample spaces to roam and explore.

To refuel, treat yourself at one of the many northern Berkshire restaurants serving locally sourced and crafted food and spirits.
Inns and campgrounds have innovated new measures to help you stay healthy and well.
As the sun sets you can cozy up indoors or relax outdoors as a glorious day passes into night.
