The Charles River at its loveliest: a pastoral stream slowly moving between ancient cliff walls and steeply wooded hillsides. A two-mile hike follows the river’s edge south before reaching successive overlooks. Rocky Narrows Overlook takes some effort to reach, but you’ll be rewarded with views of steep, hemlock covered cliffs that form a narrow river passage – the landmark that gives the reservation its name.
Rocky Narrows is one of the few places on the Charles where steep granite ledges come down to the water’s edge. 7 miles of trails, including those that pass through the adjacent 150-acre Sherborn Town Forest. Moderate hiking, strenuous in places. The property is a link in the Bay Circuit Trail. Further south along the trail is a granite bluff that bears the name King Philip, the Wampanoag chief who warred against the early settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. From King Philip’s Overlook (in Sherborn Town Forest), visitors can view the marshes of Medfield and Millis, with Noon Hill on the distant horizon. Don't miss the view from King Philip's Overlook while you here.
Keep in mind that you are not supposed to cross the railroad track that bisects this park, however it appears that just about everyone does since there’s a well worn trail that goes right up to the tracks and then continues on the other side. The track is curved in the area and the trains do travel fast though, so if you are going to cross anyway, make sure you are listening for an approaching train, keeping your eyes open and that you cross the tracks quickly and get out of the way.
