Lost Villages Scenic Byway MA 122

Overview

This byway links the historic towns of Orange and Paxton as Route 122 passes north of the Quabbin Reservoir along 40 miles of backroads, making for a quiet drive through pristine lands. Orange’s downtown is home to many 19th and early-20th century residential and mill buildings. The Riverfront Park is a great place to put-in and paddle Millers River. Stretches of the byway offer ample opportunities for camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, canoeing, kayaking, and wildlife watching.
