Gate 16
Lookout/Views
Gate 16 at Quabbin Reservoir in Shutesbury, Massachusetts is an easy 1.2 mile out-and-back hike down to the northwestern shores of Quabbin.
The trail starts off at a large parking lot across the street from Prescott Rd, along Route-202 and cuts through the woods before hitting a service road. When you hit the service road, take a right-hand turn and continue hiking downhill until you reach the water. Around mile X, you'll pass another trail/service road, but stay left to continue heading downhill.
At the end of the trail is a popular fishing spot - which requires a state fishing license.
The hike back uphill is fairly gradual, hence the easy difficulty.
