High Rock Area in the F. Gilbert Hills State Forest - July 23, 2026

At the Stone Staircase

This week’s hike with Bill and the crew was at the High Rock Area in the F. Gilbert Hills State Forest. We met near the Southeastern Massachusetts Emergency Communications Center (SEMRECC) at 100 High Rock Rd, Wrentham. We did a 4.5-mile loop down a section of the Warner Trail that includes the Stone Staircase (one of many structures built by the Civil Conservation Corps in the 1930’s), over to Sunset Ledge, past the Dolmen Rock and finally over to the shelter near High Rock before returning to the cars.

The crew - Al, Erik, Mike Bill and Danny
