This land, and all of the present-day Berkshires, are the ancestral homeland of the Mohican people, who were forcibly displaced to Wisconsin by European colonization. These lands continue to be of great significance to the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation today. To learn more, visit mohican.com.

      Parking

      No formal parking exists. A pull-off opposite 240 Campbell Falls Road, New Marlborough, provides the best access.

      Just west of Campbell Falls State Park lies our 45-acre Whiting River Reserve. While it’s a neat property, we do not have convenient access to the bulk of our property lying south of the river. That’s a shame because the hillside tucked up against the Connecticut border is very pretty. But access to the river and its fish is only a short scramble downhill from Campbell Falls Road. And Campbell Falls itself is worth as short detour.
