Wood Lake Park is host to several ball fields, a playground, and a dog park. Behind it are a network of trails that are on land owned by both the Town of Johnston and the Johnston Land Trust. Park by field 4 and walk up the access road to the dog park. Cut through the dog park to access the trail head. The trail turns slightly to the north and comes to a four way intersection. The trail to the left leads back to the backside of the ball field. The trail to the right will lead you to both the reservoir and another trail that reaches into the southern end of the property both which dead end. The trail straight ahead will lead you to Dry Brook, which coincidentally is not so dry after some rain. After crossing the brook there is a small maze of trails that lead to a peninsula and a small loop that brings you to a chimney from an old homestead. The trail continues north here but crosses onto private property just beyond the chimney. Trails are not blazed here. Exploring all the trails out and back on public property gave us a hike of two and half miles. The stone walls here are spectacular!
