Franklin State Forest

Great short walk is about 1.5 miles. A lot rocks on the trails. Small parking. Best access is on 98-72 Grove St, Franklin, MA 02038, USA

So peaceful & quiet... a great place to just get away & enjoy nature

parking across from end beaver street for “healthy heart trail”. DCR does a great job maintaining the trails, lots of storm damage this summer cleared away within days.
parking for OHV at top of forge hill road by the water tank.

Beautiful nature trail that's not too far from the city.

Great place to have a nature walk ride your bike go camping. I would highly recommend it to the adventurer.

Such an easy walk but so pretty and peaceful!

Never go there to watch sunset. As soon as sun went down we got lost in a absolute darkness. Phone reception does not exist. But it was our stupid decision to do that. The forest is beautiful and safe.

Amazing hiking trails. They seem to go on foreeevvvveeer. :-) Very easy hiking but very enjoyable!

Nice short loop and a longer loop. Map available at trail head and good historical marker / why paths were there. Watch wet leaves if you don't walk in woods often.

Quite a few years ago we were able to have a campfire at the Franklin State Forest off Summer St. near the camp with the Webelos as they were transitioning to Boy Scouts. It was wonderful and so peaceful. The whole setting meant a lot to the entire pack and their parents. It really made people understand from the moment they stepped out of their vehicles to start their hike into the woods, many for the first time; take only pictures, leave only footprints. (Do you?)

Southern new England trunk trail line. Think that what its called I could have been also in the Franklin state forest. Nice walk or bike ride and trails. And the female im presuming
Who left your glasses on the bench near the brochures hut there on the brochure stand they still there at least 2 weeks. Please pick up your glasses. White framed. Thank you.

Nice place to take a walk in Franklin. Mostly flat so it's a casual hike. Plenty of access points with parking.

Lots of dirt bikers at times but everyone is cool. Muddy after the rain but no bugs, no poison ivy, and fairly clear trails.

Nice marked hiking trail, more roots than rocks

man dis place do have a lot of trees. they have good leaves on them sometimes but not always so dont be upset if they do or dont. there is dirt and rocks so make sure u know that. one thing that you MUST remember do is this,

Nice walk did come across alot of wetlands but goes with weather all an all good trails.

Since they added parking, this place is even better. Well maintained and marked trails as well.

Great park. The Heart Healthy trail is mostly flat, and makes for a nice walk.

A sloppy mess today!

Beautiful trails, very scenic
