A sprawling 7,796-acre state wildlife management area that crosses Windsor, Cheshire, Dalton, and Lanesborough, mostly northern hardwood forest reaching up to Weston Mountain. It is managed as wild, working land for hunting and wildlife rather than a maintained-trail park, and none of MassWildlife's posted parking areas sit on the Dalton side.
