Wompatuck State Park is located in Hingham Massachusetts . The area is perfect for beginning and intermediate bikers.
Although there aren’t any facilities that are as fabulous as those going to Prospect Hill which is the largest hill in the forest. There are some pretty good facilities for beginning bikers. The bike trails are wide and have well designed delineations for bikes. The meandering nature of the trails is ideal for beginning cyclists who are still learning the bicycle.
Many people begin by traveling from the parking lot to the large loop trail. Most of the meandering trails are on the Lake Rd, or Lake Rd and Horse Neck Rd trail. From the large loop trail, there are also numerous streams to cross.
Other nearby trails are very good group rides. Several miles from the large loop trail, there is a trail junction. This is an excellent place to relax and catch up on work. Additionally, it is fairly flat with only a few hills.
The large meadow area along the lake includes two short climbs that will add a bit of challenge to the beginning and intermediate bikers. There is a 10 mile paved bicycle trail that is quite unique to the Wompatuck State Park.
The large beach is perfect for having a long lunch or playing catch with your friends. It also has an extremely mellow feel to it. The large beach is a great place to relax and enjoy your summer break.
The Wompatuck State Park Big Loop is a 10.3 mile trail and basically in and out streams and a lake, so there is quite a bit of variation when traveling up and down the trail. From the large loop trail to the small trail junction, there are a few sections of the mountain trail that are on the rocky side.
The saddle on the side of the lake has to be one of the most beautiful views in the United States. As you travel down the trail towards the saddle, the view is even better. It’s just about unbelievable to think about how big the western part of the island is.
Wompatuck State Park has some excellent bicycle and hiking trails. If you are looking for a place that offers a rewarding trip of a lifetime, you will be in a great place to begin.
