Rocky Woods Reservation

Nice trails up hill and down dale past three pretty ponds on the trail I took. Has walk in tent camping in season. Free parking for members of the trustees of the reservation.

Lovely hike in Rocky Woods. We love the off-leash area for our pup. He LOVES it too! We hiked the ridge trail and around Echo Pond. Too bad beavers are making a mess of Echo Pond. The pond is beautiful yet is experiencing high water (weather and beaver action) thus we could not walk over the bridge/path across the pond. Trustees of Rocky Woods caretakers have work to do.

Such a nice area of trails! Lots of choices and you feel like you are miles away from civilization. There's a good amount variation and the trails are maintained well.

This gem is a great place to visit any time of year but my favorite time to visit is in the winter. Hiking, running, snowshoeing, skiing (if you're good with climbing and descending steep hills) are all possibilities. There are lots of options for shorter hikes, like the loop around Chickering Pond. That loop has lots for the younger set to explore, including the shoreline and fishing. You should also take the kids up to Echo Pond and check out the way the busy beavers are altering the landscape there. It's a good example of how industrious beavers can be. The Trustees are installing new signage which makes navigating the trails even easier. The cabin is a fun stop when it's open on weekends. In the winter you can rent snowshoes and in the summer...boats. On a cold day, take a seat by the wood stove and put your feet up for a while!
