Gate 30 at Quabbin Reservoir in New Salem, Massachusetts is an easy 0.8 mile out-and-back hike along a service road that runs through the norther woods of the reservoir.

The trail is most popular for the stone bridge that passes over a creek that feeds into Quabbin, which can be found just a hundred feet from the trailhead. During the Summer you can often find Fire Pink flowers lining the banks of the creek.

The trail itself continues much further than 0.4 miles one-way, but there's not much to see as the service road does not meet the water.

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 (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!️
