Bob Johnson Boulder 1 is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about a mile from Merrimac Terrace. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Bob Johnson Boulder 2, Shoreline Boulder and Gully Boulders all within a tenth of a mile. The Lost Boulder is also close by. The area is a bouldering destination, with nine routes on the V scale, ranging from V0 to V7. The easiest is Hesitancy at V0, and the hardest is Zombie at V7. The median grade is V3, so climbers of all levels can find something to work on. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit.

Mountain bikers can head to the Old Goat Path (OGP) and Overlook Trail, both about 0.8 miles away.
