A small Hoosac Mountain town
The rugged mountain town of Florida sits atop the Hoosac Range in the Berkshires, allowing residents to fully enjoy a range of seasonal activities. "We have spring maple sugaring, summer kayaking, and snowmobiling in the winter," says Mary Naylor, a longtime Berkshire resident and local real estate agent. With more hiking trails than traffic lights and Savoy Mountain State Forest stretching across its northern border, Florida offers a pace and closeness where everyone knows each other. Incorporated in 1805 -- predating the actual state of Florida -- this little enclave enjoys a chilly climate and thick summer fog, earning it the title of Massachusetts’ coldest and snowiest town. The origin of its name remains debated, possibly inspired by early 19th-century fascination with Spanish Florida. The nearly five-mile Hoosac Tunnel, completed in 1875 after more than two decades of perilous work, once divided the community between “mountaineers” who farmed and “tunnelites” who lived closer to the railroad. The community has come a long way since then, now taking pride in small-town, close-knit vibes.
The Hoosac Tunnel East Portal in Florida was finished in 1875, and marks the start of a 4.75 mile tunnel that made rail access easier.
The Deerfield River is an exciting ride as it flows through Florida.

Fishing and kayaking on the Deerfield River
The Deerfield River is a favorite spot for fishing and kayaking, especially during the warmer months when the water runs clear and cool. Savoy Mountain State Forest, which stretches across the town’s northern edge, offers miles of wooded trails and campsites, and is a popular area for spotting wildlife. In winter, snowmobile trails wind through the Florida State Forest. The Cascade Brook Trailhead is another local highlight, leading hikers through the woods to a pair of waterfalls.
Savoy Mountain State Forest is divided between Florida and Savoy with many trails meandering between the towns.

High snowfall in the winter
Winters are famously harsh here, with heavy snowfall, biting winds and long stretches of cold. Snow often arrives early and lingers well into spring, making four-wheel drive and a sturdy snow shovel essentials for locals. The town’s high elevation brings thick fog in the warmer months and crisp, clear nights year-round.
