Where Are
The Hidden Hills?
The Hidden
Hills are a geographical area roughly covering the Westfield River
watershed. The region consists of 15 contiguous towns, from Williamsburg
to Becket, Plainfield to Russell, Otis to Westhampton. The "Hidden" aspect of the Hidden Hills gets its reputation from the fact that there
are NO interstate highway exits anywhere in the region. You can really
only get to the Hidden Hills by taking the back roads.
