We know that life can get hard sometimes. It’s easy to get stuck in the same patterns, especially over this past year. Are you looking to get away from the stresses of life and get back to nature? Come relax in the Rocky Woods Reservation and give yourself the break you need.
Enjoy Time by the Water
This 491-acre reservation has five gorgeous manmade ponds for you to soak in. There’s no better way to watch your problems float away than to get out on the water for some much-needed meditation. While you’re here why not rent a kayak and get some of the serenity that comes from being out on open water. You can also rent a canoe if your particular brand of relaxation includes teamwork and the laughter of friends.
Once you’re done with some light exercise on the pond, sit back and relax by the pond for a view that will make you forget about whatever’s bothering you. Rent a fishing pole if you’re looking for something relaxing to do while you take in a magnificent sunset in the woods.
Camp with the Whole Family
Book a camping reservation and spend a few nights at one of the family-friendly campsites close to Chickering Pond. Get all the excitement of spending a few nights in the woods, while still having access to basic amenities like showers and a dish sink. Enjoy plenty of events like movie nights and group hikes.
Bring the kids on a story walk and read a nice story while breathing in some fresh air. If your kids really love the reservation you might even consider enrolling them in one of the full-day summer camps offered by Rocky Woods
Spot Wildlife
One of the best things about being in the woods is getting to observe animals in their natural habitats. Come search for the dozens of species of bird that call these woods home. From Great Blue Herons to Red-Tailed Hawks, Blue Jays to Barred Owls; if you’re looking to spot some feathered friends this is the place to look. Of course, birds aren’t the only wildlife you can expect to see. Plenty of beavers, bullfrogs, and turtles call these woods home as well.
Take a Hike Through the Beautiful Rocky Woods Reservation
What better way to take in all that the landscape has to offer than hiking through it? The reservation houses six and a half miles of trails for you to walk. Bring yourself up to the top of Cedar Hill to get a breathtaking view of the park or take a trail down to the old quarry. With all their trails being easy to moderate you’ll be sure to have a perfect hike whether you’re an expert looking for some simple beauty, or a beginner looking for a leisurely stroll through the woods.
What are you waiting for? Take a break from life and go enjoy some of the scenic wonders nature has to offer. Contact Jack Madden Ford today to get your next vehicle with all the space you need to pack your camping and hiking supplies.
