Borden Mountain
Savoy, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below. "Summit" photos may in fact not be at the actual summit - but instead at the best nearby vista.
Tower Road to Borden Mountain summit
The Tower Road hike is a fairly easy one, as the road is still used by authorized vehciles. To get to the gate, you'll want an offroad vehicle. If you do not have an offroad vehicle, you may want to park a bit west of the gate at the trailhead, as the access road is not well maintained.

Directions to trailhead: Adams Road is a few minutes from downtown Savoy on Route 116. While there is room to park near the beginning of Tower Road, the dirt roads that access it are in terrible shape.
