This ride is a challenging ten-mile loop marked by green triangular mountain bike signs at intersections. Most of this marked mountain bike ride, created in 1992, uses single-track trails that wind through secluded woods, crisscrossing other trails and gravel roads. Instead, it's an environment of light, sunny woods dotted with granite boulders, a few picnic tables, and a complex network of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The gravelly terrain covering many of the woods roads is glacial till, left behind when the glaciers melted and withdrew to the north 15,000 years ago. Adjacent Wrentham State Forest is another favorite local mountain biking area.
Summer brings shade, and autumn offers bright foliage.
There is a water spigot at the fire station at forest headquarters. All other services are available in Foxboro. Also, watch for other trail users. When you reach the commons in Foxboro, go around it and out the other side onto South Street. After 1.3 miles, turn right onto Mill Street, and then veer left following brown state forest signs.
