Devil's Rock is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, set within the Massapoag Trail and Brook Conservation Area. It is a cluster of boulders rather than a single rock, and the climbing here is all bouldering, with 11 routes spread across the site. The boulders range from V1 to V8+, with the median grade around V4. Some of the named routes include Pitchfork at V1, Sharon's Sidepull at V3-, and Suburban Purge at V7-. Open Project is the hardest, at V8+. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Walpole run to highs around 70°F in May and 74°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. Other climbing is close by at Stacked Boulder and Tall Boulder, both about 3.5 miles away. Paddlers can head to the East Branch Neponset River, about 2.3 miles off, and the Pinnacle Trail is about 3.7 miles away for a hike.
