Skinner State Park
add photosJ.A. Skinner State Park is more than 400 acres of forest on Mount Holyoke, at the western end of the Holyoke Range. It offers breathtaking views of the Connecticut River Valley. The summit is accessible by road from April through November, and by hiking trails year-round. The Summit House, a popular mountaintop hotel in the 1800s, is open for tours and programs on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day through Columbus Day, offering historical displays and special events. The park is named after Joseph Allen Skinner, a wealthy businessman who donated the hotel and land to the state in 1940.

"Fun with the Family"
A road and several hiking trails lead to the summit of Mt. Holyoke and extend to the Holyoke Range State Park. The summit is a great picnic spot, with tables, a few grills, and a superb view of the Connecticut River Valley. The Summit House at Skinner State Park (413-586-0350; open weekends May through October) is a recently restored old mountain inn that’s now the site of summer concerts.
