As locals, we may be biased, but here at Adventure East we happen to think that Western Mass and the Connecticut River Valley is among the most beautiful regions in the Northeast. It’s abundant in impressive landscapes and has a culture rich in fascinating history.
Adventure East makes it easy to do fun, outdoor experiences so that you can focus on enjoying the natural beauty of Western Massachusetts without the hassle of planning and logistics.
We believe that everyone should have an opportunity to safely and easily enjoy the outdoors regardless of skill level or the ability to access the gear and material necessary for an outdoor experience.
We aim to provide the resources that will help anyone and everyone be able to experience the outdoors in Western Massachusetts.
