Trail Description:
Great rides throughout park. This park is almost "unused." Get a trail map @ Harold Parker State Forest HQ, otherwise be ready to explore, very long trails. Can be muddy when wet. Be careful of the "roads to nowhere" i.e. trails that go out but don't come back. Easiest access is at end of Sharpener's Pond Rd. also known as "the quarry" or "missile base rd." There is additional access in Boxford and Middleton. Located in the vicinty of other great rides: Ward Hill Reservation, Harold Parker State Forest, Weir Hill, etc.

How to get there:
Off of rte 495, take rte 114 towards Middleton. After you go by the old "Boston Hill" ski area, Sharpener's Pond Rd. will be about 1 mile up on left. Follow to end, parking at end of rd.

Bonie at the Sharpners Pond Rd side but once into park it is fine. Single and double track trails...Look for the old cemetary at marker number 11 area (pretty neat).
