Black Rock State Park

Tips from locals
There’s unfettered natural beauty in the north of Watertown at this 444-acre park on the site of a graphite mine first worked in the middle of the 17th century. At the heart of the park is Black Rock Pond, a place for swimming and fishing in summer, walled by high rocky ledges growing hemlock pine and oak.
Black Rock State Park offers excellent swimming, hiking, scenic views, and Indian legend all tucked into the scenic rolling hills of the Western Highlands.
(11 min) There is an entrance fee, but it’s a well kept park with nice trails
