Wrentham State Forest is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about half a mile from the community of Wampum Rock. It is a compact cluster of boulders rather than a long route, and its climbing is all on rock rather than on a wall or a cliff. The forest holds six bouldering routes, all rated from V0 to V5 on the V scale. The easiest is Ramp It Up at V0, and the hardest is Death to Poachers at V5-6. Stonewall Jackson sits at V2, and Open Project runs from V4 to V5. The routes are all boulders, so there is no rope climbing here. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in West Medway show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F, while winter brings highs in the upper 30s and a few snowy days a month from December through February. Megley Overhangs, about 2 miles away, and Goat Rock, about 2 miles away, are the closest climbing areas. Lake Pearl, also about 2 miles away, offers fishing, and the Acorn Trail is a hike roughly 2.6 miles off.
