Hike To A Hidden Overlook On Mount Toby In Massachusetts

This overlook might be hidden in plain sight, but we can’t get enough of every angle on Mount Toby Trail. If you have been looking for an adventure to go on, mark this trail down for a future sightseeing spot.

Welcome to today’s adventure in Mount Toby State Forest, the Mount Toby Trail. Surrounded by gorgeous state forest, you’ll find that there are plenty of trees to keep the sun at bay and off of your shoulders. That is, until you reach the top.

The 4.4 miles of loop doesn’t sound like much, but the elevation gain and moderate rating makes it a bit harder to traverse. Wear sturdy shoes.

The hidden overlook part of this trail isn’t hard to find, but is instead hidden in plain sight. This fire tower here is the key to the best view on the entire trail.

Climbing the steps is a little challenging, but it’s no more than the elevation of the trail you’ve been traveling on. Once you’re up here, it’s worth the whole trail to get an amazing view of everything below.

Out here, taking in the whole view, you can forget about everything beneath you but the sky and the horizon. Just for a moment, you will feel like you’re on top of the world. Up here, the only thing that matters is what you’re viewing.

Dogs are allowed on this trail if leashed, so you always have a furry friend hiking with you. As long as you keep everything in your pack and off the ground, the trail and its views will continue to be open to hikers.
