Greenfield, Massachusetts - Gravity Hill

Gravity Hill. Greenfield, Massachusetts - Gravity Hill

After reading about this spot, my Dad and I had to go see this for ourselves and now we can verify that this WORKS! Our first attempt didn't work, but we noticed that if you park right at where there's this white metal road marker on the left side of the street and put your car in neutral, it'll roll about 200 feet uphill. Go see for yourself! [Nat Balsley, 12/06/2007]

Gravity Hill, view uphill, I guess. Greenfield, Massachusetts - Gravity Hill

Travel westerly from Colrain Rd. up Shelburne Rd. in Greenfield. Stop at the Route 2 underpass and turn your car around so it is facing easterly. Move forward approximately 200 feet and shut off the car and put it in neutral. The car will roll uphill. I've heard all sorts of stories about why it works but it does.

I grew up in Greenfield and always brought my out of town friends here to freak them out. They were sufficiently freaked. The locals all know about this spot. [Neal Ellis, 07/01/2002]
