The crew at Lookout Rock |
The F. Gilbert Hills State Forest (previously known as Foxboro State Forest) is a 1,000-acre site with 23-miles of trails in the towns of Foxborough and Wrentham. It is adjacent to the Harold B. Clark Town Forest to the north, and connects to Wrentham State Forest to the west. The park is also part of the 30-mile Warner Trail that stretches from Sharon to Diamond Hill.

From there, we headed south on a section of the Warner Trail that includes the Stone Staircase - one of many structures built on the site by the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930’s. We took a short detour to Sunset Ledge, which has great views of the Wrentham Hills and even Diamond Hill to the southwest.
Dolmen Rock |
From there we followed a maze of trails back to the cars. The hike was originally planned to be about 5-miles, but with detours it ended up being closer to 6-miles.
