The Pocumtuck Indian tribe from near Deerfield, MA, has a legend describing a large lake in the Connecticut River valley associated with the myth of a giant beaver. In their legend a large beaver lived in this lake and occasionally came ashore to eat people. The Pocumtuck people didn't like this so they called on Hobomock, a spirit giant, to kill the Beaver. Hobomock chased the giant beaver into the lake and hit it on the back of the neck with a large stick. This killed the giant beaver causing it to sink to the bottom of the lake and turn to stone. According to the Pocumtuck legend, the giant beaver can still be seen today.
Its head is Mt. Sugar Loaf and its shoulders are North Sugar Loaf Mt. Its body stretches the length of the Pocumtuck Range to the north with its tail at Cheapside. The large divot between Mt. Sugar Loaf and North Sugar Loaf Mt is the location where Hobomock struck the giant beaver. Four historical accounts of this legend are reported below.
Here are some better photos of the mountain.
