Peaked Mountain in Monson, Massachusetts is a moderate 2 mile loop hike up to the summit of Peaked Mountain with amazing views of the surrounding hills and mountains. From the summit you can also see into the state of Connecticut.
This hike starts off at the parking lot for Peaked Mountain and follows Roslyn's Turnpike Trail all the way up the mountain. This recording heads left along the Bernie Ave Trail when you reach Junction #7 (red blazes) and continues to the right at Junction #8. Shortly after you'll reach the Summit Trail at Junction #9 which leads out to the lookout points.
From the summit you'll hike along a rocky trail that leads downhill to a few other lookout points before the trail heads back into the woods along the Valley View Trail. At mile 1.2 you'll reach the Valley View overlook with western and northern views of the area.
Hike for another 0.3 miles until you reach junction #7 again - take the Rosyln's Turnpike Trail back to parking to complete the 2 mile hike.

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 (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups 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, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
