It's now a state park. I couldn't find the cliffs. Does anyone know if the state removed part of the cliffs?

I think the coordinates should be closer to 42 N, 71 24 49 W.

Hi Michael

The town sold part of the property to developers and there is now a very fancy house on the top of the cliff. If you go into the park section from the road go straight down to the the fence. Walk between the row of trees and look for the path on your right you will come to the bottom of the steep hill and in this area you will find some nice hematite specimens if you look under the leaves. Further down the path you will see some quartz crystals. This path also take you up the hill when it turns left. There are scatter quartz crystals in many areas but milky and not well formed. you will sometimes be lucky and find some that are clear. This used to be a small ski area and alot of the material you will find was used to make the ski slope so not the greatest but there are still some treasures to find.

good luck
