This Session:
Fighting Rock Corner

When Adventure Tadhg first moved to Southcoast Massachusetts, this state forest was an amazing discovery. Boasting miles of trails and fire roads; you could easily spend days exploring all of its nooks and crannies! Being an outsider, he was unaware of Freetown Forest’s mystical legends, and even now, Adventure Club has come up short in our endless pursuit of the elusive Pukwudgie!

Fighting Rock Corner has often been one of his primary launching points for his own adventures–and he is excited to share it with OHAC! Let us take you on an exciting Adventure! This time we will wind our way to the Fall River Pet Cemetery, nestled deep in the woods!
Costumes encouraged!

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!
