  The National Archives recently released millions of Civilian Conservation Corps records and by request the agency sent me my father’s entire service record from his CCC service in Chester, Mass. in 1939. I reached out to the forest staff at the Chester Blanford State Forest and the ranger I connected with happens to be obsessed with the CCC and knows every inch of the vast forest. He gave me a 3.5 hour tour of the roads, bridges, pavilions, stone water fountains, BBQ pits and other projects my dad worked on. This young man has cleared out many culverts/cut many trees by hand to help bring these projects back to life. Everything well preserved after 84 years. Amazing tour - grateful to him and this forest for the experience of a lifetime. PRESERVE OUR CCC CAMPS !!!

  Very nice area
  There's a dirt road that runs though some spots are blocked but definitely a nice drive
  Some of the trails are washed out so 4x4 is recommended to get to the real secluded spots
  Otherwise any vehicle is fine
  We checked out the volcanic crater which was underwhelming. It's a system of abandoned roads and washed out bridges but definitely a cool place to explore.
  There are walking trails bolder fields, creeks, old stone walls you could spend a week here and not see everything.
  We saw snowmobile trails clearly marked.
  Cell service is poor to none
  The roads are marked on Google maps to give you an idea of the area

  Stunning views of the Berkshires and nearby areas. Some of the trails are quite steep, but it's doable for most people.

  Great hiking spot! Definitely not the most extreme, but if you take the steep trail (marked in blue/ white once you get up the hill) from the main trail where the first map is, it's not one for the super novice hiker, it's about a mile up, and it's about 1200' of elevation gain in that mile, it's steep but not horrible by any means, rocky steps all the way up, just keep an eye out for the trail markers because it can be easy to get off course, as it seems that the higher up the trails are a little less taken... but definitely a worthwhile venture up! Not the most scenic views that we came across, but not bad, and if you circle back down on the gravel road/ trail, there's a very rewarding waterfall experience down towards the bottom! Overall it was a great hike 😎👌 and definitely an excellent for active and adventurous pups that love the water and trail excitement! 🐶👍 just make sure they're in it for the long haul, as the full summit and circle back down is a little over 6 miles in total up to the top and back down to the parking lot! 💪💪

  Wow. My Fitbit loved that we took this hike to the waterfall and well worth. Almost got lapped by a 7 year old and his Dad running by us on the 2 mile hike - but we made it on a beautiful spring day
