The DOC Trail at the Mount Tom State Reservation in Holyoke, Massachusetts is an easy 1-mile one-way trail that features a quiet walk through the forest near Whiting Peak.
This trailhead is located along the Tote Road Trail, just south of the summit of Whiting Peak on the the southern portion of the range. The DOC Trail heads up the mountain at a gradual elevation grade before continuing northeast, heading down the mountain, when it reaches the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail (M & M Trail) near Whiting Peak.
The DOC Trail connects easily to the Middle Loop Trail near the southern trailhead and in the northeast it meets up with the Quarry Trail and Keystone Trail.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.
Parking
Please
note that the parking coordinates will bring hikers to the entrance to
the southeastern section to the Mount Tom State Reservation. Depending
on the time of year, this road can be closed up to a certain point to
motorized vehicles. Hikers will find parking down this road, but how far
is unpredictable - so plan on hiking down Mt Tom Ski Road until you
reach the end of this trek to hike in the opposite direction.

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! ✌
