| Pocumtuck Mountain | |
|---|---|
Pocumtuck Mountain, a mountain peak west of the abandoned Catamount settlement, is technically located in Charlemont, Massachusetts. Its summit ledge features wide views of western Franklin County and northern Berkshire County. Pocumtuck Mountain is often confused with the nearby Pocumtuck Range in Deerfield, Massachusetts.
The mountain was named after the Pocumtuc Indians on October 16, 1855 during one of Catamount's Old Homes Days Festival. Such festivals were held often on the scenic mountain - including one visited by Massachusetts Governor John Davis Long.
Though there are many abandoned roads and active snowmobile trails that lead to the summit from Charlemont, Massachusetts, Colrain, Massachusetts, and Heath, Massachusetts, no marked or officially maintained hiking trails exist.
