This "Hotspot" is one that shouldn't exist. It is private property, with no way to access it without trespassing. If you want a good view of the river, there are several pull offs along US-20 that offer a much better view.

The Crescent Mills Dam is located on the Westfield River between the towns of Russell and Huntington. The River runs for 78 miles through western Massachusetts from the Berkshire Hills region to its confluence with the Connecticut River and contains Wild and Scenic River segments upstream of the project, primarily in the River’s tributaries. The East, Middle, and West branches of the river begin on the eastern slopes of the Berkshires and flow southward through mostly rural communities. The project is situated 20 miles upstream of the confluence with the Connecticut River, between the downstream Indian River Project and the upstream Army Corps of Engineers Littleville and Knightville Dams. The river is currently used for recreational purposes such as fishing and boating, with the best areas being located upstream of the project in the river’s four tributaries.
