Gate 31 at Quabbin Reservoir in New Salem, Massachusetts is an easy 2.5-mile out-and-back trail located on Regulating Dam Rd off of Route 112.
There are several side trails located along this gate - some leading out to the water and some to other gates and long abandoned roads. The road itself leads roughly 1 mile from the gate down to the boat launch, across a small island and to the other side of the tip of Quabbin.
From the opposite shore its a roughly 0.6 mile walk up to Orange-Millington Rd (Gate 29). The Gate 29 entrance on 202 is roughly 1 mile from the intersection.
Parking
Depending on the season, parking is available by the first gate a short distance from Route 112. Additional parking is located by the boat launch depending on access/season.
Pets
Dogs are not allowed on any trails at Quabbin.

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! ✌
