Historic
Parkway Rehabilitation
The road system is closed to all public access: automobiles, bicycles, and foot traffic for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Roads are currently under repair for safety and access improvements. This affects public access to certain facilities; as a result the summit is not accessible by automobile, Bascom Lodge and the Veterans War Memorial Tower are closed, the campground (primitive overnight area) and Stony Ledge are accessible by hiking only. Full operation and access to these facilities are scheduled to resume in 2009 upon completion of the Historic Parkway road repairs. The Visitors Center and trails remain open.

At 3,491 feet, Mount Greylock is the
highest point in Massachusetts. Rising above the surrounding
Berkshire landscape, dramatic views of upwards almost 90 miles
distant may be seen. It became Massachusetts' first state park, acquired by the
Commonwealth in 1898, to preserve its natural environment for public enjoyment.
Wild and rugged yet intimate and accessible, Mount Greylock rewards the visitor
exploring this special place of scenic and natural beauty. Deer Hill Falls (at
left), for example, is a feathering cascade to be found
deep in the heart of Greylock.
