The Upper Lake Loop Trail at Mount Holyoke College is an easy 1 mile hike that leads along the upper lake. The trail is flat and mostly gravel, with paved sections near parking and along the dorms located off of Park St on the south side of the lake.

The trail is easy to follow as you just need to stay right or stay left to continue following the water, depending on which direction you walk it.

Waterfall: Along the western side of the lake is a dam with the Stony Brook waterfall cascading down, about 12 feet tall, that feeds into Stony Brook.

Dogs are allowed. No biking.

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! ✌
