This very short two tenth of a mile trail leads you to a very historical location. It is said that a battle took place here between the colonists and the Native Americans during the King Phillips War. A group of Native Americans were camping here preparing to attack the settlement of Wrentham. Word got out that they were here and the colonists confronted them. Several of the Natives were killed. The trail starts at the end of King Phillip Road and then turns abruptly to the right. The trail then splits. Stay to the right and follow the trail slightly uphill. At the top of the hill is the large granite outcrop. There is a significant 20 foot or more drop on the other side of the rock. Be careful near the edge. There are also other short trails on the property. For more information go to Easy Walks in Massachusetts.
