Goat Hill
About
Goat Hill is a summit in Massachusetts, about 2.4 miles from the town of Whitinsville. It sits right beside a cluster of local trails, which makes it an easy addition to a hike in the area. September is a comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in West Medway run to highs around 76°F and lows near 51°F, and the station sits below the hill, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. The Greenway Trail starts just 0.1 miles away, and King Phillip's Trail and the Badlands Loop are both within a mile. For an overnight stay, West Hill Park campground is about 1.5 miles off. Paddlers can reach the Blackstone River, roughly 3 miles away.
