At a glance
Overview
The Slim Shad Point Trail is a short spur in the Holyoke Range / New England Trail corridor that opens onto an overlook of the Holyoke Dam on the Connecticut River. It is a ridge viewpoint, not a waterfall approach — the 'falls' reference points at the engineered drop across the dam. View-only from the overlook; no river access.
