Scum Boulders

Massachusetts > N Shore > Cape Ann > Dogtown > Dory Rd Boulders

Description

These are a couple of boulders down behind the loading docks of one of the shipping warehouse in the industrial park. There is also a nice boulder right on the edge of the parking lot, but there always people back there, and it's on private property.

Getting There

From the Cell Tower Boulder, walk away from the tower and along the back of the industrial park on a major path for maybe a 1/3 of a mile. After an intersection, trend right, and head up the hill toward the back of the warehouse. The boulders sit in a mass of thorns and firs and can be difficult to see, but the big one sticks up.

If you continue on the path without turning off right, you will eventually end up right across the street from the start of the Southwoods Boulders. It’s maybe a mile though.
