Take a Trip to Grey Rocks
Located just east of Hebron Village on North Shore Road – whether you choose to walk or just sit and relax – it’s always worth a trip to Grey Rocks. If you haven’t been to Grey Rocks lately, you should plan a visit. As part of our permaculture plan to restore this property to a more natural setting, we have planted trees, shrubs, and perennial flowers, added sheet mulching to build soil for future plantings, and installed benches, picnic tables, and viewing platforms along the water’s edge.
Well-behaved pets are allowed on leash, but owners are required to clean up after them.
