At a glance
Overview
The DOC Trail is a path in Mount Tom State Reservation in Holyoke, crossing small brook drainages on the east side of the ridge. This is a hiking corridor, not a sanctioned swim spot — there is no beach, no lifeguard, and no developed water access. The reservation is DCR-managed with a parking fee in season. Treat any brook crossings as step-and-scramble features, not plunge pools.
