While there are numerous trails to choose from in Massachusetts, this little hike in Douglas State Forest will take you to somewhere you've never been before. Starting at a lake, you'll then ascend 5.4 miles until you're met with a marker that shows where three states meet. Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island all meet at the end of the Tri-State Marker Trail, and it's a novelty experience that you need to experience for yourself. Lace up your hiking boots, enjoy a beautiful hike, and then stand in three states at once on the Tri-State Marker Trail.
Welcome to the Tri-State Marker Trail!
This beautiful hike is located in the Douglas State Forest, and is rated as easy.
You'll start at Wallum Lake and hike five miles in total. Although this trail is quite easy, it can be a bit rough in inclement weather, so make sure to wear proper shoes.
Along the trail, you'll also find ancient remnants! You'll see these remnants of old chambers used by Vikings.
One of the best parts of the Tri-State Marker Trail is all of the old rock formations to explore.
Soon into the trail, you'll be met with an old marker that has three states and a date listed on them.
There's something truly surreal about standing in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island all at once.
If you've never stood in three states at once, you must take the Tri-State Marker Trail in Massachusetts to be able to say you have been in MA, CT, and RI all at once!
