Dighton Rock State Park was a truly bizarre experience made better by Joe the park ranger. A large rock covered in petroglyphs sits inside a tiny museum building on the edge of the Taunton River. The signage inside the museum told the convoluted tale of European historians and linguists attempting to decipher the language on the rock with attempts made by English, Scandinavian, and Portuguese translators each with their own political agenda.

It's a nice state park, kind of in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately they Dighton Rock is in a cement building and closed for Covid. It doesn't seem like it's routinely open as there is a sign in the parking lot with a number to call to request access. There were to parks trucks in the parking lot when I visited... they don't allow swimming... so I guess you can go for a walk here.

Great spot for a hiking/nature walk. Lots of thorns and mosquitoes this time of year but thats to be expected. About 30 minutes into the trail we stumbled upon a massive pile of animal droppings. Judging by the size it must be from a large animal, unsure what might be in woods. Be safe & wear bug spray!!

What a gem of a park. I wish it didn’t close at 4pm. I even found a friend!!!! Lots of parking, trails, picnic tables and grills, and even a tiny museum! I super appreciate the BIG sign reminding visitors to leash dogs (thank you!!!) Please leash your dogs!!!!!

More to the park then just the awesome museums. While the trails are relatively short if you retrace and take multiple routes you can get in a great hike while seeing some really interesting sites. Massachusetts state parks really are wicked pissah!!😁

Beautiful scenery by the water with picnic tables, restrooms, and hiking paths. Dog friendly which is awesome. Dighton rock is a good place to get away, lay down a towel and read a book or just walk and play with your dog.
