Upper Goose Pond Cabin Lee, MA 01238

"This was a great overnight on my ‘21 thru-hike. Arrived early to get a bunk. Pleasant swim. Breakfast was a treat."

"Cabin is 5 stars & almost all caretakers are great, exception in the one this week. I hike there a lot & I have hiked the AT as well. Today, OCT 6, 2022, we had a bad experience with an aggressive dog of the current caretaker, she has 2 loose dogs & refuses to put them on a leash. The aggressive one was trying to get at ours (which was on a leash bc it is considerate thing to do on a trail with hikers), I said she should put hers on a leash & she says she does not have to. She then put them in the cabin (which has a sign for no trail dogs). I found her very inconsiderate & feel bad for any hikers staying this week, especially if they have a hiking dog. As an AMC member of many years, I agree with the ATC on dogs on trails on a leash, it is consideration of others."

"What a beautiful place to hike to/camp. Ranger cabin was still open (until Columbus Day) so that meant free use of the canoes and pancakes with coffee in the morning. Tent sites have wooden platforms and bear boxes to store your food. One of the sites also has a picnic table. There is a dish washing station and a fire pit by the ranger cabin and the they are very friendly and informative. Couldn't ask for a better spot to enjoy this part of the Berkshires!"

"Always love this destination...less than an hour 1 way but high reward. Great view of the pond!"

"Nice short hike to a beautiful location."
