Are Amherst watershed lands open to the public for recreation?
Amherst does not encourage active recreation on our watershed properties. However, activities like hiking and cross-country skiing are not prohibited. With the exception of the Robert Frost and a short section of the M & M Trail, no other formal hiking trails exist on the watershed forest. Fishing, swimming, and boats of any size in the reservoirs are also prohibited. No motorized vehicles are allowed.
