About the Rocky Narrows
Rocky Narrows, located at 87 Forest Street in Sherborn, Massachusetts, is a breathtaking park and tourist attraction that offers unparalleled views of the Charles River.

Reviews of Rocky Narrows
"Very nice, quiet, dog-friendly park. The main red loop is about 2 miles and is very well marked with varied terrain. The parking lot is very small. Online it says the lot is limited to 6 cars but on site the sign says the limit is 5."
"Bucolic! Well-marked trails offer varying degrees of difficulty. We stayed on the red trail and enjoyed solitude except for crossing paths with the occasional runner or family. I’d bring lunch to eat by the canoe landing area if I were return. Not much parking, but you can prepare with info from the Trustees website."
"Excellent trails. Some quite steep and needing attention to hike. Overlooks, water and some swamp if you want it. All accessed through a pastoral meadow."
"Great trails that were well marked. Loved the overlook points. Part of the orange trail was completely flooded over so we had to double back to get back to the main trail"
