Hopkinton MA has a Trails Club with quite a few mapped trails in several areas of town. Paul has been to College Rock many times. People use it for rock climbing, and off-road bikes use the trails in this area. There is a lot of graffiti on the rock, and the kiosk has been vandalized, but this is the only damage we saw on this hike. There was almost no litter on the trails. I can't find any information on why this is called College Rock. Maybe college students painted their college or frat symbols on the rock at one time. There is a College Road nearby but I don't know which one was named first.
Some of the trails were very well cleared. This may have been for the benefit of the bikes. It looks like the trails were cleared with a leaf blower. Strange.
Along the way, near the Farm Trail, we encountered a horse farm. We liked this homemade see-saw in the clearing behind the farm.
