Worcester Mountain Farm is home to several miles of private biking and hiking trails, as well as its own network of groomed nordic trails. Groomed ski trails leave from the parking area and provide adventure and access to both the hut and throughout the land. On the south and west sides, this network is bordered by the Putnam State Forest and the Worcester Mountain Range where guests will find endless backcountry opportunities. If you leave Worcester Mountain farm and ascend onto state land, however, there is no cutting allowed and all state regulations for backcountry skiing and adventures apply.
