Great hike with lots of trails with different degrees of difficulty, this place offers something for everyone. We decided to take a couple of the shorter trails around the pond to keep the kids interested and did it ever. We saw lots of flowers, birds, frogs, and fish in the pond. The trails were well marked and easy to follow. Due to Covid-19, the visitor’s center, restrooms, activity center, and exploration area were all closed but we were still able to have a great time here.

Lovely, well-maintained with diverse flora. There are flat trails and loops or continue further into the Audubon and gain elevation to a gorgeous vista. The view at the top overlooks westward. Relatively quiet experience when I went late in the afternoon on a week day. I would assume it gets busier on weekends as well as in summers when there are events and programming. This is a space that is friendly to all ages and activity levels.

Beavers, Beavers and even more beavers. We were in town for a weekend retreat. It rained all weekend and this was a welcome activity. Bring your boots because the trail can get muddy. A lot of trees felled by beavers building dams. Highly recommend while in Lenox.

Fantastic place! We very much enjoyed our visit. First, it’s very clearly an LGBTQ+ friendly service area. They have welcoming messages in various areas and a gender neutral bathroom. This goes a long way to making families feel at ease to be themselves. Bathrooms are modern and super clean during our weekday visit. Also ample parking, but again, wasn’t a peak time so that could be different. The trails are all very well maintained and clearly marked. Blue takes you away from the main area, yellow brings you back. We don’t live nearby, but if we did, we’d come back often. Thanks for being so welcoming!

Great hiking experience! Easy and difficult trails for kids and families. Lots to see and explore!

A great hiking experience for all seasons. A variety of trails and scenic environments. I especially enjoy the Trail of the Ledges. The view at the top is breathtaking. Love how, if you are a member, you can register online and skip the line at the welcome booth. Good for kids. Bikes are not permitted.

Hiked a few trails in vicinity of the ponds, didn’t have a chance to try mountaintop trail. Good overall impression, clearly marked trails and nice nature center.

Beautiful place to visit. Great trails for those with mobility issues or children. Bathrooms were very clean. The is a hidden gem.

I love this place. The trails are very well mantained. Very relaxing place. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic hiking trails at Pleasant Valley Sanctuary. It was well worth the $5 per person we paid for entry. The trails were maintained well and the views were unbelievable. We found it to be very informative send enjoyable. The hike itself was easy but made for a great afternoon, even in December. We enjoyed learning about the beavers and looking at their handiwork up close. The guide working the ticket area was friendly and helpful!

Well-marked trails among woods and beaver ponds. Pleasant displays explain the habitat. Bring binoculars and your favorite bird song ID app.

This is just a great MA Audubon Preserve. Lots of trails. Beaver Dams. An active (so they say, I never saw wildlife) Beaver Lodge along Beaver Lodge Trail - another was in the pond. I saw at least TWO well-established Beaver dams. Lots of gnawed trees. We took only the easy trails but the higher ones could be “strenuous”. We’re non-member seniors so the price was only $3 each. Adults were $5. There’s even a short, easy trail for “EVERYONE”. There’s been a drought so there was lots of mud and only a little water where the trails we’re. Some trails were more detoured than closed because of storms in early September. The bathrooms seemed new and very nice. Under A/C, with a water fountain, both non-gender and specific gender. I used a stall in the Men’s room and it seemed “new” w privacy doors from floor to ceiling and no open walls. I saw some birds and a chipmunk. Enjoy!!

Great family and kid friendly outdoor location. The many hiking trails cover many levels of difficulty, from flat to hilly. The only problem is they could be a little better marked. We got totally lost bit it was simple to get back with a little bit of basic knowledge of the outdoors. My grandkids and I enjoyed a several hour walk here recently and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Even the 9 year old computer/ gaming nerd. We even saw a bear shuffling into the woods which my grandson called "one of my forest animals". The beaver pond area was beautiful and filled with wildflowers, trees with foliage that were just starting to turn and gorgeous birds and chipmunks too many to count. Good time in a place that will keep the kids busy looking for nature's treasures!

All of the Mass Audubon sanctuaries in the Berkshires are beautiful, put I'm partial to Pleasant Valley. The wildlife you can see here is astounding and the trails are peaceful (I particularly love the waterfalls, the beaver dam, and the hike up to the top of the mountain). They have trails for everyone (though a few are being rebuilt currently after a major storm). This is a hidden (nature) gem in the area!

Well maintained with paths and trails for all levels of fitness. Benches strategically placed for view and rest. And their educational programs well worth signing up for.

Beautiful and amazing area. They have trails that range from simple to more complex. Every which way you go reveals breathtaking nature views.

Super pretty, and it's a pretty lengthy hike if you go the full distance. Trees were unfortunately down, and I didn't have time to go the full hike but it was awesome nonetheless.

It was muddy when we were there. Some wildlife but didn't see any beavers. The facilities are up to date and well maintained. Different levels of hikes for all levels. Lots of blow downs but all cleared.

We visited on a chilly, overcast, fall afternoon & only saw 2 other people on the paths. The chipmunks were playing and chirping as we wandered nearby. The trails are exceptionally well cared for & marked clearly. It's definitely a place I'll visit again very soon!

Beautiful easy hike in nature. We did not see any beavers though... We were told they come out at dawn. But it's nice to see the forest and fall colors. Be careful, by the stream the trail can be muddy.

Got lost for several hours on the trails with my camera. If you like that kinda stuff, do not miss this.
