Nathan Clouds Review
This place is amazing. Easily some of the finest XC riding in New England. The trails here are gorgeously cut and maintained - endless techie rocky singletrack. There was also a healthy number of connecting fire roads, pine needle singletrack, etc.. There is very little in the way of drops, skinnies... basically things that you can jump or fall of off - but the trails themselves are masterpieces.
Good stuff.
Looking at the maps in below, there is also an unfathomable number of trails here and seems to have unlimited potential.
I should also mention that the Western Mass Nemba chapter has put a lot of time into this place, and it shows - nice bridges everywhere, rock bridges, armoring, trail management, etc..
