Deep Woods Area is a bouldering area within the Lynn Woods Reservation in Massachusetts, about a mile from the town of Lynn. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Back Door Boulders and Brother Boulders just 0.1 mile away and Bow Ridge Area about 0.2 mile off. The area is a compact, close-together network of boulders rather than a single route, and it works well as a short stop for climbers who want to move between several crags in a single visit. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 10 routes spread across the area. The grades run from V0+ up to V8, with the median around V3-4. Some of the named routes include 1500 Milepedes at V0+, Runnin' Down a Dream at V4- and Ironing Curtains at V8. The boulders are close together, so it's easy to string a few together in one session. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Middleton run to highs around 81°F in July, with September still near 73°F. Winters are cold, with January highs around 35°F and lows near 16°F. Mountain bikers will find Deep Woods Trail West about 0.3 mile away and Shark's Tooth East about 0.4 mile away.
