Hinsdale
is located in Berkshire County in the west-central part of the state, about 10 miles east of Pittsfield and 126 miles west of Boston. This quiet town nestled in the Berkshire Hills is home to about 2,000 permanent residents, but that number swells in the summertime due to the number of visitors who come seeking outdoor recreation and fresh, clean air. Settled in the 1760s, the town was officially incorporated in 1804, with farming, saw mills and textile mills as the main industries. Today, it is primarily a "bedroom community" to the city of Pittsfield. Hinsdale is home to two lakes, Lake Ashmere and Plunkett Lake, which provide five summer camps as well as a variety of recreational activities. The town, along with the neighboring communities of Peru, Washington and Dalton, is also home to the 14,500-acre Hinsdale Flats Watershed Resource Area. In addition, part of the Appalachian Trail passes through Hinsdale and there are over 1500 acres of state-owned open space within the town's borders. The citizens of this picturesque, rural community take great pride in their town's natural resources, extensive recreation programs for its youth and its well-equipped community center for senior citizens.

Hinsdale Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Western New York, including The Berkshires, has a moderate four-season climate. The first significant snowfall usually occurs in December, but it varies from year to year. Some years there is no snow or ice until after the first of the new year, and the temperatures near The Hudson River stay quite mild. March is the month to look for the first signs of spring, although cool temps can linger throughout the month. Summers are hazy, warm and humid. September can be mixed with either clear, cool Canadian air or humid, warm air with intense downpours. October is possibly the most beautiful month in the Berkshires with warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Perfect weather for enjoying the foliage. Typically, colors peak the first three weeks of October.
