Things to do in Lenox, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Nature & Parks

August 29, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

It seems like every time of year is "in season" in Lenox, a small Berkshire town that has been a popular retreat since the 19th century. In summer, picnic on the lawn at Tanglewood, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer home. In fall, when foliage peaks, take to the hiking and biking paths of the Pleasant Valley Sanctuary to immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of the mountains. Winter visitors enjoy skiing at a number of resorts and cross-country trails, and in spring, hikers and golfers practice their pastimes in splendid settings. Rejuvenating treatments and pampering, at the well-known Cranwell Spa, are favored all year long.

We took our three kids (ages 8, 10, and 12) snowshoeing this morning and did a loop around the beaver pond. Beautiful and scenic views. Easy to moderate trails.

My husband and I went hiking here due to our innkeeper’s recommendation. It’s walking distance to the trailhead from downtown Lenox. Lots of trails-very good ones. Recommended. Hope to come back.

Berkshire Trail Rides

Pony rides are available for the young ones on property. We also offer guided trail rides through the beautiful Kennedy Park in Lenox Massachusetts. One of the best qualities about this park in there are no motorized vehicles allowed, so we can all enjoy the nature and our adventure. Our horses have been hand picked and professionally trained. The horses truly love their jobs as much as we do.
