Description
There are several points of interest to visit on this trail. Lookout Rock stands 475 feet high and provides an expansive view toward the south and southeast. Tophet Chasm and Oak Hill are at the northern tip of a long ridge of hills called Shrewsbury Ridge by geologists. In glacial times, the ridge was the eastern shore of a vast glacial lake, Lake Nashua. Two stagecoach lines crossed Oak Hill in the 1830s. Then there’s Oak Hill Electronics Laboratory, where the US government leased property from 1958 to 1964.
