Savoy Mountain State Forest in northwestern Massachusetts spans Savoy, Florida, Adams, and North Adams along the Hoosac Mountain Range, uniting upland forest, ponds, waterfalls, and ridges in one protected landscape. Established in 1918 from 100 acres of abandoned farmland, it was expanded and reshaped in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps through reforestation and dam construction at several ponds, reflecting New England’s broader return of worn farmland to forest. The forest includes varied terrain, notable falls, and 120 acres of old-growth woodland near the Cold River and Tannery Falls, while continuing to serve both conservation and recreation.
