If you go on a few of the steeper trails, it could be dangerous if you don't pay attention. Being in good physical shape, we had no issues. The summit is about 400 feet above sea level. We had a good time.

Rocky Woods is one of the best and least crowded trails in the Boston area. It's a wetland reservation between the Charles River and the Neponset River full of owls, towhee, etc. It's perfect for picnics, birdwatching, hiking, and running, especially if one is with kids and seniors. Some of the parts are inaccessible and flooded because of beaver dams.

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!

Rocky Woods is beautiful, I just wish dog owners picked up after their pets, there was dog excrement all over the place, truly disgusting. Also, lots of unleashed dogs in the areas were they were supposed to be in a leash. I might give it another try in the Spring.

Love Rocky Woods. Miles of trails of varying difficulty. Open fields. Lakes. Wildlife. A welcome station where kids can borrow fishing nets and pails to catch frogs in the ponds. Canoes to rent in the summer and ice skating in the winter. This place is a gem.
