Rocky Pond Bouldering

Rocky Pond can be accessed via a pull off on the south side of Green Street in Boylston as the road makes a significant bend. The pulloff has room for ~5 cars if parked responsibly.

The GPS pin is in the exact location of the parking area for Rocky Pond.

To access all boulders, use the single track trail that heads south from the trailhead. The trail quickly dumps onto a large cut through the woods. Follow the path of destruction for a total of ~6 minutes where the trail curves sharply to the right and up a steep hill. To reach all boulders besides the Barrel Boulder, stay left onto a single track trail. You will immediately merge with another small trail (staying right). Follow the trail straight for a couple minutes. First you will see Cracked Boulder on the right, just beyond that will be Extraterrestrial Boulder on the left. Here the trail forks, either straight or right. Heading straight will quickly bring you to the Shoreline Goliath (the 30' x 60' x 30' behemoth). Veering right leads to a well-shaded boulder field home to many boulders (Mr. Clean, Arrowhead, Logging, Submarine, etc.) and eventually the back entrance to the Barrel Boulder.

To reach the Barrel Boulder, stay right up the hill on the logging path. At the top of the hill, continue on the logging path another minute until the path forks. Stay left going downhill, and at the bottom of the hill you should see the incredible twin boulders.
