Rock House Reservation, Protected area in West Brookfield, Massachusetts, US.
The Rock House Reservation encompasses 196 acres of natural landscape with three miles of trails winding through hardwood forests and pine groves.
Native Americans utilized the natural rock shelter as a winter camp due to its strategic location near two major footpaths during pre-colonial times.
The land transformed from Native American territory to colonial farmland in the 1600s, later becoming part of William Adams' 281-acre farm in 1866.
Visitors can access the reservation daily from sunrise to sunset through the parking area off Route 9, with space for twelve vehicles.
The Wisconsin Glacier created Balance Rock, a substantial glacial erratic that rests upon a stone outcrop within the reservation grounds.
