Rocky Woods is a wonderful, quiet spot to enjoy nature - and that on the edge of a heavily settled area. I’ve explored these trails many, many times and always find it restorative.
The beavers were out today, first I've ever seen the whole family together. The Mom and Pop and the two little ones were foraging on lily pads. They were fun to watch, they were right in front of me munching on the pads. The little guys whimpered a bit too, I've never heard that before (sounded like a baby, somewhat). I've been running in here for 20 years or so and this is only the 2nd time I've seen the beavers out, the last time 3 years ago. It's clear they're here you just don't see them much. Soooo coooool.
Awesome loop. Bushwacked up Cedar Hill first, from the south, then noticed the remains of a few trails. I stumbled upon a mini-quarry which might explain the old trails from the north and west. Pretty cool, see waypoint on my map. Continued on Ridge Trail then bushwacked up Mine Hill to find the summit (see waypoint). Cool area up there. Finished up via Cheney and East-West. This is a cool trek, give it a try.
Beautiful hike! Pond with beaver activity was awesome! Trails were well marked. Did have to pay $5 to park (well worth it)!
Very nice walk,

best of the best, hats off to the trustees who maintain this property. beautiful and well marked trails, multiple vistas. varied landscapes. not your typical southern MA hike
Trails are very well marked with many side trails and rocks to climb! Also, probably the 3rd trail out of 40 to actually have trail maps. Which wasn't needed thanks to this app but very helpful to those without. Will be back multiple times this year
Even though I went here on a rainy day, it was beautiful and well worth getting soaked!! It's absolutely stunning

This was a great find. Some parts I would say are moderate. A very New England hike. Vistas and massive rocks. Cost to park is $5. Part of the reservations. We'll be back many times.
