Since it wasn't a Beach weather day, decided to try a hike away from the beach with my brother.

I wish Mass. had a HAZ like web site or any sort of trail information at all. I stumbled on this one and decided to try it with only a trailhead location. It starts at Hokum Rock and is under tree cover almost the entire way. There are no trail signs whatsoever out here and trails seemed to branch off in every direction. A couple of ponds and a few hilly areas were nice. About a half hour in, the sky's opened up and just poured on us. We attempted to follow whatever seemed to be the real trail. There was signs that this area is popular with Mountain bikers. Soaked to the bone we found our way back to the Car.
