Chicopee State Park is located on Burnett Road about 1 minute past the Fifties Diner at the Mass Pike end of I-291.  Also right next to Westover Air Force Base.  Parking in the park costs $8 for Mass. residents;  however, if you stand with your back to the front gate of the park, there is a residential area across Burnett Road.  To the right you will see Blanan Dr., where there is unrestricted curbside parking.

Meet at the front gate at 10:00 AM and walk on the access road to the parking lots.  From there onto the paved hiking path, which has a few minor elevation gains.  Walk back out to Burnett Road about 12:30.
