In June 2001, the National Park Service accepted the Berkshire Chapter, AMC's application to have the M-M Trail on these sections certified as a "National Recreation Trail." This certification applies only to those sections of trail located on Mass DEM/State Park, Forest, or Reservation property. The designation also applies on the Mt. Holyoke Range to those sections of trail on land owned by the towns of South Hadley, Hadley, and Amherst. In Franklin County, the designation also applies to the trail section on land owned by Northeast Utilities as well as the substantial DEM State Forest holdings.
