There are several species of wild blueberries. The most abundant wild blueberry is the low sweet blueberry. It has smooth stems that vary in color from tan to red, and plants vary in height from 4 to 15 inches. The leaves are dark green, smooth and sometimes have slightly toothed edges. Blossoms are bell-shaped and usually white or pinkish-white. The fruit is usually dark blue, but it is colored with a waxy coating that gives the fruit a light, powder blue appearance.
They grow in wet or dry acid soils, bogs, barrens, tundras, woods, and thickets throughout the eastern United States and Canada.
If you want to pick blueberries ask someone in the area to point out the plants to you if you are still not sure.
These sites have pictures that will help you with identification. Best of luck with your berry picking!!

Do not eat them if you are not sure they are blueberries. I think that there are some poisonous plants that look like blueberrys that can at the least make you sick, so take a piece of one w/ leaves and berries on it to your local county extension agent to ID for you. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Your first clue would be the presence of a small roundish shaped blue object in multiple clusters. Those would be the blueberries.
