Rehoboth State Forest — Attraction in Rehoboth

They definitely need to maintain these trails better. Granted it's hiking so there are a ton of rocks and roots consistently throughout the trail. Bugs galore. Even with bug spray forget it. Thankfully I had a mosquito jacket. There's a few signs throughout, but definitely not enough. In fact they need to put a few more exit / parking lot signs.. ...

A short and buggy (almost had to put spray in my ears) walk (August 2023) in town #142 in my goal towards hiking in every city and town in Massachusetts. Parked in the “lot” off Peck Street, walked from the gate and did a counterclockwise on the Pine Loop trail. The Cedar Swap Spur was too muddy to attempt. Small / nice place, very rocky...
