Comments:
Join us for the last NEOC event of the season at F. Gilbert Hills State Forest. The map, called "High Rock," was once frequently used. The park is excellent, with rich contour detail and rock features, runnable vegetation, and a detailed trail network. The map is somewhat outdated - in particular, many trails are missing. The map has not been recently updated, but is still interesting and adequate for orienteering. Remapping High Rock is slated for 2013 or 2014.
Directions:
[Google Map] The start location is at the Forest Parks and Administration facility at 45 Mill St, Foxborough MA. Parking is about 400m to the west in a grass field on Mill St. There is a parking lot at the Chapel Meeting House adjacent to the grass field; unfortunately, a church group will be using that lot. Bathrooms will be available at Chapel Meeting House.
