The Butternut Road to Fire Pond Trail at Peaked Mountain Park in Monson, Massachusetts is an easy 0.4-mile one-way trail that follows Butternut Road up to Fire Pond.
This short trail is connected at both ends to the Roslyn's Turnpike Trail, which is part of the Peaked Mountain Summit Loop Trail. The lower entrance to the trail is located just beyond the field by the parking lot and ends at the Fire Pond.
Parking: Parking can be found at the main lot at the coordinates provided. The lot is fairly large, but can fill up quickly by noon on weekends.
Pets: Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
