About This Access Site
Factory Brook's take-out in Middlefield provides access to a whitewater paddling section in western Massachusetts. This is a dedicated take-out point designed for paddlers finishing their run down the brook. The location sits in Hampshire County in the rural Pioneer Valley region. Being a whitewater take-out rather than a launch point, this site is best used as an exit point for boaters coming downstream from higher elevation sections of Factory Brook.
