Mass Audubon's Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary - Wildlife refuge in Lenox - 472 W Mountain Rd, USA

Beautiful easy hike in nature. We did not see any beavers though... We were told they come out at dawn. But it's nice to see the forest and fall colors. Be careful, by the stream the trail can be muddy.

We visited on a chilly, overcast, fall afternoon & only saw 2 other people on the paths. The chipmunks were playing and chirping as we wandered nearby. The trails are exceptionally well cared for & marked clearly. It's definitely a place I'll visit again very soon!

Beautiful place to visit. Great trails for those with mobility issues or children. Bathrooms were very clean. The is a hidden gem.

Fantastic place! We very much enjoyed our visit. First, it’s very clearly an LGBTQ+ friendly service area. They have welcoming messages in various areas and a gender neutral bathroom. This goes a long way to making families feel at ease to be themselves. Bathrooms are modern and super clean during our weekday visit. Also ample parking, but again, wasn’t a peak time so that could be different. The trails are all very well maintained and clearly marked. Blue takes you away from the main area, yellow brings you back. We don’t live nearby, but if we did, we’d come back often. Thanks for being so welcoming!

Fantastic hiking trails at Pleasant Valley Sanctuary. It was well worth the $5 per person we paid for entry. The trails were maintained well and the views were unbelievable. We found it to be very informative send enjoyable. The hike itself was easy but made for a great afternoon, even in December. We enjoyed learning about the beavers and looking at their handiwork up close. The guide working the ticket area was friendly and helpful!

A really beautiful site with lots of amazing views and birds! However, the trails are very poorly maintained and marked. Due to a massive fallen tree in one of the paths, the lack of proper blazing or clearing, and the tiny nearly-unreadable maps on the brochures, I got extremely lost here and just barely made it out by nightfall. It's fine if you're an experienced hiker - just be aware and prepared. I was planning for a casual stroll and I really should have worn better shoes and downloaded a map off the Internet in advance.

A great hiking experience for all seasons. A variety of trails and scenic environments. I especially enjoy the Trail of the Ledges. The view at the top is breathtaking. Love how, if you are a member, you can register online and skip the line at the welcome booth. Good for kids. Bikes are not permitted.

This is just a great MA Audubon Preserve. Lots of trails. Beaver Dams. An active (so they say, I never saw wildlife) Beaver Lodge along Beaver Lodge Trail - another was in the pond. I saw at least TWO well-established Beaver dams. Lots of gnawed trees. We took only the easy trails but the higher ones could be “strenuous”. We’re non-member seniors so the price was only $3 each. Adults were $5. There’s even a short, easy trail for “EVERYONE”. There’s been a drought so there was lots of mud and only a little water where the trails we’re. Some trails were more detoured than closed because of storms in early September. The bathrooms seemed new and very nice. Under A/C, with a water fountain, both non-gender and specific gender. I used a stall in the Men’s room and it seemed “new” w privacy doors from floor to ceiling and no open walls. I saw some birds and a chipmunk. Enjoy!!
