Right now (October) it is Bow season. Lots of trail options, quite a few ponds, hills, and connects to Fork Factory Brook across the street. They have designated dog On Leash/Off Leash areas. Trails are well marked. But you need to carry a map. Unless you have memorized all the trail names. They do not have maps at the intersections.

Growing up in the 60's and 70's in Medfield was a gift looking back in time. One of the special…read moreplaces in town was Rocky Woods. Summers where you could rent paddle boats and row boats, private picnic areas around the pond where you had your own site with table and fire place to cook on. Miles of trails with an observation tower that enabled views of Southern New Hampshire on a clear day. Winters were magical, ice skating on the pond that was well lit for night time skating and music with a very large rustic log cabin that overlooked the pond. A place to socialize, enjoy hot coffee and hot chocolate along with snacks and food. A second pond across the parking lot was used for hockey games, and both skating areas were meticulously maintained. If that wasn't enough, there was a ski hill with rope tow at the end of the skating pond. So many memories of time spent with friends growing up all winter skating and coming of age. It was back in a time when we actually had winter here. Now, all of this is just a distant memory for the now elderly who remember how lucky we were. Tragically, The Trustees of Reservations who own the property ended all of these activities, removed the parking lot and tore down the majestic log cabin. I can only imagine how Dr. Joel Goldthwait who gave this property to the Trustees of Reservations, along with a large endowment in 1942 must feel about what they turned it into. Thank you Mario Pederzini and countless others for making Rocky Woods what it once was and most importantly what it was meant to be.

Ample parking and clearly marked trails made it easy to navigate. I didn't get a chance to stop in the center as the doors were locked, but the facilities look great for all Audubon does. I did forget my spray and like a novice hiker went on the vernal pool loop which had average level of bugs that accompanied me during the loop. Great place to stretch your legs, leashed pets were a no go here for planning purposes, but don't fret they are allowed at neighboring Moose Hill Farm.

There's a tiny little spot you can park right before the head of the trail but only enough for a few cars. I guess if you came and it was full you could park down the street. There is a pretty big lot there that usually has quite a few spots open. You'd have to walk a bit to the trail though. Great trail around Ponkapoag pond. My Fit bit says it was a little over 11,000 steps. Most trails are marked good. There are maps posted every so often and most have an arrow that point "you are here". I would suggest to bring a map although at the place where I started from the box holding the Maps was empty so I just took a picture of the one posted. Definitely bring bug spray! This place is loaded with bugs. I was pretty bitten up at the end of my walk. I stayed on the main trail but there were lots of small trails to go off on. I was pretty disappointed to see signage that said no bikes allowed on a lot of them though. That's a real bummer for me and my beloved mountain bike. Saw lots of beautiful birds and butterflies. Luckily I didn't run into any coyotes but just be aware that they are around. 3.5 stars.

I love the "boardwalk" - a long series of linked planks leading through the bog to the pond. So scenic and a unique off-trail walk. The trail is rocky and rolling in parts and flat in others, with a brief paved portion along the golf course. The trail also passes the YMCA camping sites and outdoors center, and is fairly well traveled in all seasons. Great place for running, dog walking and hiking.
