Dighton Rock State Park is an 85-acre (34 ha) Massachusetts state park located in the town of Berkley, managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. The park is named after Dighton Rock, an 11-foot-high (3.4 m) glacial erratic that once sat on the banks of the Taunton River, covered with petroglyphs. It has since been moved to a small museum on the park grounds (pictured at right).[2]
Activities and amenities
The park is principally used for picnicking. There are also trails for walking, hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. Non-motorized boating is also available.[2]
