Gate 5
COVID-19:
When hiking during the coronavirus outbreak, look for trails with
empty parking lots
to reduce the risk of exposure to yourself and fellow hikers. Hike smart and avoid crowded trails.
The Gate 5 Trail at Quabbin Reservoir in Belchertown, Massachusetts is an easy 1 mile out-and-back trail that leads down to the southwest shores of Quabbin.
The trailhead starts at the intersection of Old Enfield Rd and Earley St where you can find a small parking turnout next to the gate. Be sure not to park in front of the gate.
The trail heads downhill toward the water, but the hike back isn't difficult.
