Riverwood Climbing

The official entrance is on Boy Scout Drive on the northern end. If you are going in with pads I do not recommend entering here. It requires walking down a road past many houses. Some of these home owners are not so keen on the public use of Riverwood thus the reason why public parking is so far from that actual entrance. I would guess that these same people have no idea what a bouldering pad is and would take a very suspicious interpretation. There is an unofficial entrance on the south side with parking for about 3-5 cars next to and behind a guard rail. Long before the Westerly Land Trust acquired the property (used to be called the Ski Trails because people cross country skied here) this was the entrance. Its Unofficial because you have to cross the train tracks. People still use this entrance, but be respectful and cautious.

When approaching the boulders, be sure to stay on the trails as best as possible and minimize any impact to native vegetation in the woods. This area is open to more development, but be sure to keep brushing impact to a minimum and do not destroy any flora to create space for a climb. This land belongs to the land trust and we need to do our part to leave it better than when we walked in.
