At a glance
Overview
The Mohawk Campground Pool is the walk-in river pool inside Mohawk Trail State Forest in Charlemont, along the Cold River near the DCR campground. Campers and day-users drop down a short embankment to the Cold River shoreline and use the pools against the river-right bank. Current and depth shift with rain and upstream dam releases, and there is no lifeguard on the river.
