Montague has thousands of acres of protected land that can be enjoyed for passive public recreation. Try Montague’s section of the 43 mile Robert Frost Trail, Meander down to the Rock Dam at the Connecticut River at Cabot Woods, or forage for blueberries on the Montague Plains. To help the public identify publicly accessible hiking areas, the Planning and Conservation Department has produced a simple guide to 6 areas that cover over 20 miles of trails. Each area has its own rules that you must respect, but it always good to be aware of hunting seasons, to wear safety orange, to carry out all trash and to keep dogs on a leash where required.
