The fifteen Massachusetts State Forests, aggregating 50,000 acres, are mostly off the main highways and almost inaccessible to motorists. However, three of the State Forests are on main highways, the Mohawk Trail Forest, the Erving Forest, and the Otter River Forest. In these more accessible forests the Department of Conservation is planning to establish camp sites as fast as the Legislature provides funds.
The five State Parks, Mt. Wachusett (1,200 acres), Mt. Greylock (8,000 acres), Mt. Sugarloaf (150 acres), Mt. Everett (1,000 acres), and Mt. Tom (1,600 acres) have no public camp sites, but all except Everett have a hotel or casino at the summit, and Greylock and Wachusett have a good auto road to the top. [245]
