After a moderate hike and ascending the rock, you're rewarded with sweeping views of MetroWest as well as the tippy-tops of a few of the tallest buildings in Boston. Small parking lot for a dozen or so cars.

Cochituate State Park
The Lake Cochituate watershed includes Beaver Dam Brook and Course Brook to the South that feed into South Pond from as far away as Ashland and Sherborn; Pegan Brook, now known as Pegan Cove, which also feeds South Pond; and Snake Brook that flows into the connector between North and Middle Ponds. Ultimately Lake Cochituate drains through Cochituate Brook where it is joined by an un-named tributary before flowing into the Sudbury River. A great place to explore the wonders of New England’s natural beauty.
