I must start this out by thanking the Ephemeral letterboxer for this game,
as I have learned of 22 new places to go hike!!! :-) I grew up in a
town bordering Sherborn and now live in a second town bordering Sherborn. I
had NO idea there was still so much open space available. Much of it you
won't find unless you're looking for it, "parking" spots are often simply a
spot along a road with a tiny trail head hiding among trees and ground-cover
(aka poison ivy). Thank you!!
Yesterday, I went and found a book called Sherborn Walks. It's available
at Town Hall and Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary (or so says the Bay Path
Circuit website). I got a copy at Broadmoor. So, from that booklet,
here is a list of hikes in Sherborn. I decided to ask about the most
obvious one (Rocky Narrows Reservation).
Bailey Trail
Barber Reservation
Bogastow Trail
Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary (entry to this is actually in Natick, only a
portion of this is in Sherborn)
Brush Hill Trail
Farm Pond
Grandfather's Field
Hildreth/Schoolhouse Trail
Laurel Farm
Leland Reservation
Little Farm Pond
MacGregor Quarry
Peters Hill Trail
Pine Hill Cemetary
Pleasant Street Trail
Rocky Narrows Reservation
Sewall Brook Trail
Sherborn Town Forest - Goulding St to Farm Rd
Sherborn Town Forest - Farm Rd to Eliot St
Sherborn Town Forest - Eliot St to Hunting Ln
Ward Parks Road
West Goulding St and Woodland St
Anyone who is in this general area, I HIGHLY recommend this booklet ($12).
It's got beautiful maps of the hikes, and very interesting historical
information about the area, as well as cool stuff to see! For instance,
there are carnivorous plants (growing naturally!) around the Little Farm
Pond area. :-)

I am actually down in Massachusetts for the week from Maine and have
been thinking I might scoot on down to Sherborn to check it out! By
the time I come back from camping on Thursday the clues will be
complete!
Thanks for this list of spots. I will cut and paste.
