Best Driving Roads in Massachusetts
Massachusetts's selected routes include the Berkshires, hill towns and reservoir country. Short distances can still involve slow, winding roads, so use the itinerary map to plan a realistic day.
These 6 editorial picks come from the RevRoutes Explore catalog. Each orange line is the exact saved itinerary, and its listed mileage follows that route rather than the full length of a named highway or byway. The list is a starting point for choosing a drive, not a live road-conditions report.
Exact catalog lines. Every orange route below is a real RevRoutes itinerary—not a pin, shortcut or newly calculated alternative.
Mohawk Trail (MA-2)
40.64 miles in the Massachusetts catalog region
- 40.64 mi
- Massachusetts
Exact saved Explore itinerary. The displayed distance follows this line; the full named road may continue beyond the selected start or finish.
The Mohawk Trail itinerary follows a saved MA-2 section across northern Massachusetts. Its scenic-road identity can cover a broader area than this line, so compare endpoints before adding other published versions.

- 16.32 mi
- Massachusetts
Exact saved Explore itinerary. The displayed distance follows this line; the full named road may continue beyond the selected start or finish.
The Mount Greylock entry is a summit-road itinerary, not a general highway through the Berkshires. Confirm seasonal road opening and visitor access before planning around the top of the mountain.

MA-116 Hilltowns
20.87 miles in the Massachusetts catalog region
- 20.87 mi
- Massachusetts
Exact saved Explore itinerary. The displayed distance follows this line; the full named road may continue beyond the selected start or finish.
MA-116 gives the guide a western hilltown-road alternative to the larger highways. Its shorter mileage leaves more room for stops, but winding two-lane travel still needs a realistic time allowance.

MA-7 Berkshires (US-7)
47.1 miles in the Massachusetts catalog region
- 47.1 mi
- Massachusetts
Exact saved Explore itinerary. The displayed distance follows this line; the full named road may continue beyond the selected start or finish.
US-7 through the Berkshires is the longer north-south corridor option in this selection. It is useful for a regional journey, while the map clarifies that the entry does not cover the entire US-7 highway.

12.26 miles in the Massachusetts catalog region
- 12.26 mi
- Massachusetts
Exact saved Explore itinerary. The displayed distance follows this line; the full named road may continue beyond the selected start or finish.
This short MA-32 and MA-32A itinerary runs on the Quabbin area's eastern side. It is not a road loop around the entire reservoir, and any reservation-area visits have separate access rules.

Old King's Highway (MA-6A)
34.6 miles in the Massachusetts catalog region
- 34.6 mi
- Massachusetts
Exact saved Explore itinerary. The displayed distance follows this line; the full named road may continue beyond the selected start or finish.
Old King's Highway follows the historic MA-6A corridor on Cape Cod. Town traffic and seasonal demand can make this a slow scenic outing; use the saved section rather than treating it as the whole Cape.

Planning your Massachusetts drive
The shortest saved route in this guide is 12.26 miles; the longest is 47.1 miles. Choose one itinerary first and account for travel to its start and back from its finish. These are separate route picks, not an automatically connected road trip, and some can share road sections.
Check official Massachusetts traffic and road closure resources before leaving. Park entry, timed reservations, vehicle restrictions and visitor-site permissions can be separate from whether the public highway is open. Follow current local instructions over an old map or article.
How we chose these Massachusetts roads
This is a focused selection from the curated RevRoutes Explore catalog, ordered editorially for driving character and reputation, not mileage. We do not pad every state to the same number of picks; more roads remain available in the app. It is not an objective ranking or a claim that the editorial team has personally driven every itinerary. Distances describe the exact saved catalog lines and can differ from official byway lengths. The maps are planning aids—not live navigation or road-condition reports.
