Pine Hill Park — Attraction in Bridgewater

As my mother and I were entering through the Evergreen Ave entrance, a man stopped us and suggested the trail two streets over on Watkins would be an easy-moderate trail that would take us to the Vista trail which overlooks Rutland. When we pulled up at the Watkins entrance to Pine Hill, a very kind woman that takes care of these trails and woods for the state, stopped us to hand over a trail map. She was very kind and everyone we ran into on the trail was kind as well.

Now this is primarily a mountain biking trail, so it is important to keep your dog close by on a leash and yield to all cyclist which was very easy to do. We had about 14 cyclist pass us on our hike and it was easy to move to the side to let them through.

There was a ton of gypsy moths flying everywhere, they have all hatched and were flying about trying to mate. As destructive as that species is, it was beautiful to see, though they did eat many of the leaves.

Pond Road was lovely and wide, we took trails: Watkins to Pond to Vista and back. Took about 45 minutes or so with a break at the Vista for water and pictures of the view.

All trails are very well and clearly marked! THANK YOU 🙏!!

Highly...

They have a big map at the start that even has what flower are in bloom during the season. Can’t wait to go back and actually explore more than just a small bit. I bet the colors during autumn will be even more beautiful. Only went on a small excursion this time but will definitely be back to hike a long trail up...

Traveling through and wanted to get the toddlers out to stretch their legs. This place was perfect! There's a trail designed completely with kids in mind. I believe it was just over a mile. There was a book that we got to read along the trail which kept my 4 year old running ahead to hear what was next. And there were many of these fun stations with a guided activity, like making a fairy house, balancing on logs & stumps, climbing a steep incline, etc. We'd never seen anything like this and...
