This is a huge wooded space hundreds of acres large. Whitney and Thayer is a great place to come to walk, bike, horseback ride and you're welcome to bring your dog if you have one. Leash please. The property here spans both towns of Hingham and Cohasset and unlike some other Trustees properties, is free to all who enter. As an added bonus, you can readily access Turkey Hill from here and gain sight of the South Shore and Cohasset harbor. There are trail markers but it's wise to download a map and bring it with you. Bring water to drink for you and any animal companions you might have with you. As well, make sure you've got your bug spray applied. Ticks abound everywhere in these parts so you want to make sure you're as protected as can be. Having done all those things like a good boy or girl Scout, you'll be certain to enjoy a spectacular day in the outdoors admiring all manner of trees, bushes, flowers, birds and if you're lucky an occasional animal sighting. This is a beautiful tract of land in which to get some exercise and revel in the solitude and grandeur. Well worth a visit any time of year. Get your exercise on, and get out there!

After a short while on the trails you can see why the Wampanoag Indians called the area Cohasset or the "Long Rocky Place", at 600 acres it is three times the size of nearby World's End and unlike W.E. it's FREE! The trails are well maintained cart and footpaths suitable for walking, jogging, horseback, mountain biking, etc. Spliting the woods right down the middle was an old railroad track used by the USN to move munitions to the old ammo depot (now Wompatuck State Park) during WWII & the Cold War, it was recently converted to a bike path (crushed stone) for all to use. It's now possible to take the Greebush Commuter Rail Line down to the Cohasset Station and go directly across Rt 3A and jump on you bike for hours of bike riding in Whitney & (mainly) Wompatuck's 20 + miles of paved & dirt bike trails. After a day of fun cap it off with a ice cream cone at JJ's Dairy located about 500' south of Cohasset Station. Quiet. 600 acres. Ten miles of rustic trails. Dog friendly. Owned & operated by the Trustees of Reservations - consider a donation and becoming a trustee.

Today my boyfriend and I decided to go for a walk and since the last time we passed by there were several Pokéstops and lures going on we thought we could make this a nice fun Friday evening adventure as we have been talking about coming here for some time now but just never made it. The turn into the bigger lot is pretty sharp on the right as you're headed north on Bridge St. There are also a few spots right up front but it's usually occupied, and so was today. We went all the way in and had to come back out because there was no place to park, except a couple of handicap spots. There is also a Yacht club on the far right of the park. The park isn't very big but it's very nicely done. The drought however, along with people walking on the grass, has really damaged the greens turning them tan and dried out. We parked in the side and sat and watched the sunset as I played PokémonGo until a spot opened up. We grabbed it and headed to the park for the walk and the play. It was really beautiful seeing so many people out. We walked alongside the bank of the water and it was low tide so saw the bottoms of the land. The houses across the way was nice too. There were a couple of trails you can walk over to just off the "Kibby's Property" sign but since ITT was getting dark we decided not to go in. And at nighfall, a truck came about starting rounding up the people and lead them out of the park because although it's open year round, it closes at dusk and it was beyond dusk at that point. Best park about this small park is that it had at least about 13 Pokéstops and the lures were going on all of them. Had a great time here and will definitely come back again soon!

However, they do have a nice set of trails by the reservoir/ ski area of the park that has little elevation and some of the best foliage in the fall. Parking can be a bit tricky on that side when it is busy though. I don't like the trails over by the pond and skating rink as much as I do the other side. It can get a bit muddy and buggy over there and the pond views are meh. Parking is shared by the ice rink and there is plenty of it.

Unfortunately, I had no idea how high the dunes were! If you've never climbed a sand dune before, let me tell you - it's not easy! It's exhausting as for every step, your foot sinks down at least half way back from where it started. The sand starts fairly soon after the trail begins and you're soon trekking uphill in sand. We made it up to the top of the first dune and 2 of the 3 of us were beat. I took great lengths to stay as high in elevation as possible in making my way to the second dune, where I saw the ocean and maybe two dune shacks in the distance - at least half a mile or a mile away. I couldnt imagine walking that far in the sand. Overall, the trail was nice and it gave some nice views, but be prepared and know going in that its not going to be easy.

Great place to hike in Littleton. Went yesterday for the first time and was pleasantly surprised…read morewith the variety of trails in a (relatively) small area. There is one park entrance with a few parking spaces on Oak Hill Road, and another entrance on Harvard Road. Upon entering at Oak Hill Road, we followed the red trail up to Lookout Rock where we found a beautiful view overlooking the surrounding areas. Nearby, there was the highest point in all of Littleton. We then followed another trail to Tophet Chasm. The trails were well maintained, the park was not crowded (saw 3 other people there in a total of 2 hours), and the scenery was beautiful. Tucked away in Littleton center, this place is a gem. We printed out a trail map before heading over, which turned out to be necessary since it's pretty easy to lose your way if you change trails. The blue trail was the hardest - which lead us up and down hills on trails with little grooming. The ground was a little wet at times, which in combination with the leaves on the ground made it difficult to balance at times. Overall, this park is great. The red trail is lined with gravel and by far the easiest trail. The yellow trail is the longest, and the other trails weave in between. Even if you're not a hiker or avid exerciser, this park is great for everyone and has trails for all ability levels.

We took the Chasm trail but the trail off it to the chasm itself was closed for repairs. Hit the Summit trail and didn't see an overlook at the top, just an ugly concrete water tower. My now my knee was bothering me as I am not a spring chicken, so we went back down to the parking lot. Looked at the map and saw it was quite a ways beyond the water tower to the lookout. I probably could have made it to the outlook and back if I hadn't gone off on the chasm trail. Maybe this is a better site for younger folks, though they did have reading glasses at the kiosk for older folks like me, which I've never seen anywhere before and which, along with clearly marked trails, got them a second star.
