Rainbow Beach WMA

Details unconfirmedPreserve · Northampton, MA
Right now

A 47-acre state Wildlife Management Area next to the Rainbow Beach Conservation Area, reached by a gravel road past the Northampton airport that turns to a farm track through cornfields. It floods often, and the unmarked trails and unpaved parking are built for hunters and anglers more than beachgoers.
