The Freetown-Fall River State Forest is a 5000-acre forest, including 25 miles of public trails for hiking or off-roading (dirt bikes only). It is also home to a Wampanoag reservation. This is a publicly-owned forest area that covers greater than 5,000 acres. "The forest lies mostly in the center of the town of Freetown (about a third of the town) dividing Assonet, East Freetown, and Fall River's northern most boundary. The forest land includes Profile Rock, a granite outcropping, which local Native Americans believe to be the image of Chief Massasoit and a 227-acre (92 ha) Wampanoag reservation.
The forest has more than 50 miles (80 km) of unpaved roads and trails for walking, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, dog sledding, off-road vehicle, and equestrian use. A picnic area with wading pool, playing fields and restrooms is located near the main entrance. Rattlesnake Brook is stocked with brook trout in spring. Hunting is available on a restricted basis.
The forest is home to the annual "Fun Day in the Forest" event sponsored by the Friends of the Freetown-Fall River State Forest. For a number of years, it also served as the course for the Big Bang Mountain Bike Race, a benefit event for the Independence Day events in Freetown."
