Wallum Lake Area is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about 2 miles from East Thompson, Connecticut, across the state line. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Titanic Boulder and Coffee House Rocks both about 0.1 mile away. The area has two bouldering routes, Crackalackin' at V0 and Chutes and Ladders at V1, both boulders first ascended by Trevor Mungeam. The climbing is short and low, with no rope or anchor points to set up. For a longer outing, the Southern New England Trunkline Trail and the Midstate Trail both pass within a mile. Paddlers can head to the Mumford River, about 6 miles away, and West Thompson Lake Campground, roughly 8 miles off, offers a place to stay.
