Located just one mile from the center of Pittsfield, Canoe Meadows brings the wilderness to Berkshire County’s largest city, attracting warblers, turtles, ospreys, otters, and the occasional bear, Kathy can vouch for that at different times of the year. Gentle, flat trails wind through the sanctuary’s scenic woods, fields, and wetlands, and along the edge of the Housatonic River.
