The Machican-Mohawk Trail originally connected the Connecticut and Hudson Rivers by way of a trail that followed the Deerfield and Hoosic rivers. It traveled along a course once used by Native Americans and later colonial settlers. Upon meeting the Hoosic River the trail continued, following it into North Adams and Williamstown, MA, Pownel, VT, and finally to Stillwater, NY, where the Hoosic River joined the Hudson River. Today, the trail is in the process of being reconstructed.
Planning is underway to reopen the rest of the trail.
