Trail of the Week: Whitney and Thayer Woods

Stretching across 824 acres, Whitney & Thayer Woods offers more than 10 miles of well-marked trails that link to Weir River Farm, Turkey Hill, Wompatuck State Park, and other nearby conservation lands—together forming the largest contiguous open space on the South Shore.

This Trustees-owned property brims with history: once farmland and later equestrian country, the wide carriage roads still suggest horse-drawn buggies passing beneath the trees. Notable landmarks include the striking Bigelow Boulder (a glacial erratic), the rocky refuge of Ode’s Den, and the flower-lined Milliken Memorial Path, planted with rhododendrons and azaleas in the 1920s.

The land also carries a deeper legacy: before European settlement, the Massachusett people maintained a summer village here known as Quonahassit—“long rocky place”—living, farming, and fishing along the coast.

Today, visitors can enjoy shady woodland hikes past stone walls, streams, and groves of holly. A short Blue Loop highlights glacial boulders, while longer treks connect through rolling terrain into neighboring parks. Whether you’re looking for a one-hour wander or a two-hour adventure, Whitney & Thayer Woods offers a rich mix of nature, history, and local heritage. For full details check it out here.
