Description Suggest change

Rock House Reservation is popular with local families, and it can get very crowded during the summer months. The Rock House proper is a highly traveled area nearly year-round. Be aware and considerate of others.

There are large glacial erratics all over the nearly 200 acre reservation. Short, unnamed problems exist in many places, some well off of the trail system. It will often be necessary to clean problems.

Getting There Suggest change

Park in the parking lot off of Route 9 near the border of Ware and West Brookfield. Ascend the stairs - go left when arriving at the pond. The Rock House is roughly a hundred yards from the pond. The boulders are arranged left to right around the pond.
