About this Location

Cat Rock and 80 Acres of conservation land have 5.5 miles of trails that wind through 130 acres of forests, fields, and wetlands. The Weston Conservation Commission, Weston Recreation Commission, and Weston Forest and Trail Association work together to care for this treasured open space. Visitors can climb to the top of Cat Rock Hill, one of the highest points in Weston, where a ski area with two tow ropes operated from 1957 to 1978. The hill is reportedly named for the bobcats that once frequented the area. 80 Acre Field is an old farm field that, in the 1950s, served as private hunting grounds for quail and deer.

From the Hobbs Pond dam, enjoy a lovely view of the pond, which was created in the late 1950s and stocked with brown trout for the 80 Acre Fishing Club. The dam was rebuilt after it was damaged by severe rains in 2010.

Parking is available at a lot located at the end of Drabbington Way in Weston. On weekends, parking at the Drabbington Way lot is restricted to Weston residents only. This parking restriction is strictly enforced. Drabbington Way is located off of MA-117 (North Avenue), to the north side, between Church Street and Whitney Tavern Road.
