I'm heading back home to Western Mass from my new home of Oregon in the first week of October. This is the first time I'll be home since becoming interested in Photography. I went to Quabbin often as a child to go fishing and remember it's beauty, we went mainly to gates 43 and 8.
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of good areas to go for fall foliage. I would be really interested in areas for morning reflections or shots that include the old stone walls in the area.
Thanks in advance. -L

Larry,
Since you are going to be there during the autumn you might want to consider hiking in from Gate 40. This will take you past what remains of the town of dana, MA that was not inundated by the water. I have been down that road and there are lots of good trees that might have some color the first week of October. You may be justa little early for th epeak color but there should be something goon. I have added some links below for research:
