[post_content] => The Southern New England Trunkline Trail (SNETT) in Franklin, MA is a roadbed for an old failed railroad.
The story goes that early 1900s entrepreneur who was a driving force behind the proposed rail road was on the Titanic and did not survive the ships’ sinking. The rail line project died with him and construction was not completed.
The roadbed now is a multi use recreation trail that runs 20 miles from Franklin, MA to the Douglas State forest. Connecting trails go to Connecticut and Rhode Island. This `Rail Trail' is open to bicycles and other trail users including horse riders.
You'll see some scenic views from the trail; note that there are tentative plans in very early stages of formulation to upgrade the at least a portion of the SNETT to a paved bike trail.
Access to the Southern New England Trunkline Trail in Franklin is haphazard. There is a rudimentary parking area for a few cars off Grove Street in Franklin, MA. You can also get to the SNETT via the trails in the Franklin State Forest.

[post_content] => The Franklin Town Forest is a 180+ acre preserve that should not be confused with the Franklin State Forest also located in Franklin, MA. They are separate woodland resources.
Many trails traverse the Franklin Town Forest. Typical walks take from 20-40 minutes. You’ll move through pines, cedars, and swamp maples. Beware that this forest borders on the golf course owned by the Franklin Country Club and you can inadvertently end up walking onto that property. You’ll also walk at times along the boundary lines of private land with homes, so show consideration and common sense as you walk.
There are two access points to the Town Forest in Franklin, MA, neither of which is clearly marked as such as of date of this posting:
From the cul-de-sac at the end of Russet Hill Road in Franklin, MA;
On Summer Street, about one-half mile from the intersection with King Street in Franklin, MA (access point is approximately opposite 373 Summer Street).

[post_content] => The Indian Rock Conservation Area in Franklin, MA is a pleasant wooded area with some short walking trails that allow you to walk up to (and actually walk on) Indian Rock, a rounded granite hilltop ending abruptly in a jagged cliff that played the featured role in a bit of grisly early Colonial history in Franklin.
If you bring food and drink, you’ll have an opportunity to enjoy a nice picnic at the site of a fatal skirmish between Native American and Colonial forces that was a part of the savagely bloody King Phillip’s War that convulsed Massachusetts in 1675 – 1676.
The rock formation called Indian Rock is a moderate precipice with a gentle wooded rise on one side which leads via an easy trail to a granite crown. The hilltop ends abruptly at an exposed rock face that looms some 20 to 30 feet over the forest floor which slopes way from the jagged base of hill.
The granite crown is broad and mostly flat – here’s your spot for that nice picnic - just take care not to go over the ledge! You can also take the chance to engage in rudimentary rock climbing techniques on the cliff.
There are some carvings in the rock that were unintelligible when viewed by me; they appear to have been left by previous latter-day picnickers.
A highly abbreviated story of the combat at Indian Rock in Franklin, MA runs this way:
A war band of approximately 20 - 30 Native American warriors were camping at Indian Rock, apparently intent on attacking the Colonial settlement then called Wrentham (what was later to become the Town of Franklin was a part of the greater community of Wrentham in the 1670s).
The Native American war band was discovered late in the day by a colonist searching for his stray horse; the man quickly warned the Wrentham townspeople who took arms to defend the town.
A group of 13 armed colonists snuck up and surprised the camping Native American warriors the following morning just at dawn.
In the struggle that followed, many of the Native Americans were shot and killed outright. Several survivors sought escape by jumping off the cliff, were injured by the fall and were subsequently easily dispatched by the victorious colonists. (Hence the name “Indian Rock”.)
There’s no sign of the battle today, although during my visit to the area, my young son greatly enjoyed insisting that he saw arrowheads on the ground and blood stains on the rockface.
The history behind Indian Rock in Franklin makes for a fun excursion with the little ones and gives context for the street names in the immediate vicinity (Lost Horse Trail, Indian Lane, King Phillip Road, etc).
You can access the Indian Rock Conservation Area in Franklin, MA from the cul-de-sac at the end of King Philip Road.

[post_content] => This nearly 42 acre parcel of conservation land runs parallel to Lincoln Street and lies between Lincoln and Maple Streets in Franklin, MA.
This conservation area in Franklin, MA appears to be unnamed. It provides very pleasant walks through gently rolling, wooded terrain.
There are occasional abandoned stone walls which mark what must have been at one point in the past cleared farm and pasture land. Trails cross a couple of steams, and you’ll walk by two large ponds (Fales and Rodgers). I have seen deer, foxes, turtles, and hawks i my frequent walks in this area. If you look carefully you see evidence of beaver at the ponds.
Access is fairly limited and to my knowledge no designated parking areas exist. You can get onto walking trails within the Franklin Woods subdivision (on a public street called Bridle Path) and from the cul-de-sacs at the end of other public streets (Madison Avenue and Eric Drive in Franklin, MA).
