This access site provides entry to a 2. 5-mile hiking trail featuring America's first keystone arch railroad bridges (ranging up to 70 feet high) along the West Branch Westfield River, with opportunities for fishing, kayaking, hunting, and mountain biking.

The trail begins at Herbert Cross Road in Chester and offers ancillary trails descending to river level for paddling access.

The site is located within the largest roadless wilderness area in western Massachusetts, providing a scenic and historic recreational experience.
