Charley's Loop Trail at Purgatory Chasm State Reservation in Sutton, Massachusetts is an easy 1.3-mile loop trail featuring views of Purgatory Chasm.
The trailhead is located by the entrance to the chasm on the right-hand side. This trail, marked by yellow blazes and traverses the right-hand ledges above the chasm. Much like the Chasm Loop Trail, the yellow blazes are more of a guide in the general direction since you can walk along most of the edges within site of the trail.
Like the other side of the chasm, there are plenty of optional scrambles and overlooks along the way. The trail loops at the end of the Chasm Loop Trail and follows a wide path sweeping out into the woods and eventually back to the trailhead. The second portion of the trail offers no overlooks, but its a wonderful walk none the less.

Before you leave...
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! ✌
