Rocky Woods is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, set within the Fork Factory Brook land unit, which is managed by a non-governmental organization. It sits about 0.7 miles from Hemlock Knoll, another climbing area, and is part of a cluster of outdoor spots in the eastern part of the state. The climbing here is all bouldering, with six routes spread across the area. The grades run from V0 to V2, with most of the problems sitting in the V1-2 range. Fork in the Road is the easiest at V0, and Big Proper is the hardest at V2. The Orange Fork Arete and Riding High are also in the V1-2 range. For a change from the rocks, the Larabee Trail (Orange Blaze) is about 1.6 miles away and the Noanet Park Trail is about 2 miles away. Mountain bikers can head to the Bay Colony Rail Trail, roughly 3.6 miles off.
