Club Overview
The Swift River Sportsman’s Club located at 350 Cold Spring Road in Belchertown, Massachusetts is a private hunting club with just under 400 acres. This continuous parcel of land offers some excellent hunting for deer, wild turkey and other upland game. In addition the club also stocks pheasant along with quail. The club is a licensed hunting preserve and we hold special hunts and have the option to extend the hunting season for birds. The rules and limits are set by the Board of Directors. Along with the upland wooded areas the club also owns 1 1/2 miles of river frontage along one of the best stocked trout waters in the state. The crystal clear water of the Swift River offers some of the best fishing anywhere.
Presidents Message
Welcome to the new Swift River Sportsman’s Club website. On this site you will find many activities that the club has to offer. Our club offers just about anything a sportsman or sportswoman would be interested in. If you never belonged to a sportsmen’s orientated club or have belonged to other clubs and just want to get away from “clicky” type clubs, than this is the club for you. I welcome your membership and encourage you to get involved!

Within six months of application, he or she must complete the required amount of work for the club, i.e. working at club functions, grounds work, fund raising, etc. **Upon completion of the required work the member will be issued their key card. To maintain their senior membership status the individual is required to complete the required amount of work per year.
