From the Publisher

This is the new fifth edition as of summer of 2003. It includes all trail changes and current camping information. The book is sized to easily to be included in your pack pockets. The map is the most widely used by hikers and campers in the Park because of its 15 minute format (one inch to the mile) and its color scheme. The fact it is up to date renders the guide as being the best information source for the Park.

Store Description

The story has it that a man from Boston, in trying to hide out from his wife, came to a beautiful place by a river in Western Massachusetts. He thought this was the end of the earth and his wife would not find him here. He named this place Zoar because it was mentioned in the Bible and it was the last letter in the alphabet. It was the last place in the world where she would look. Located on the banks of the beautiful Deerfield River in Charlemont, MA. You can reach the store by coming north or south on Route 91.

At the end of the second "S" curve you will come to bridge with an indian head on it. Take the right turn just before the bridge (Zoar Road) and go 2 miles.
