Wachusett Mountain, the highest point in Massachusetts east of the Berkshires, is a delight for skiers, hikers and naturalists. At 2,006 feet, it offers spectacular views. Mount Monadnock to the north, the Boston skyline to the east and the Berkshire Hills to the west can be seen on a clear day. The downhill skiing area, an hour's drive from Boston, is the largest in eastern Massachusetts. The annual hawk migration and fall foliage are spectacular.

The Reservation offers 17 miles of trails, including 3.9 miles of the Midstate Trail, which runs from Ashburnham to the Rhode Island border. The Visitor's Center located on Mountain Road, a short distance from the ski area.
