Rehoboth State Forest
Rehoboth State Forest offers a quiet and natural outdoor experience featuring hiking trails suitable for dogs and children. The park has a roughly 1-mile loop trail with some additional offshoot paths, set in a forest environment with old rock walls. While the trails provide a great place for a short trek with your dog, the area is not well-maintained; trails can be rocky, root-filled, and buggy, making it less accessible for very young children, elderly visitors, or those needing assistance. Parking is limited to a small dirt turnaround area on Peck Street, and signage is sparse, so visiting requires some navigation care. Dogs enjoy the space, but protection against ticks is recommended.

Both me and my mini poodle love this park! Great trails, even though some parts were a bit wet, but that’s all part of being outdoors! They could use some more signage of where to go in the further areas, but that’s what makes each time a little adventure!
Quiet park with a good loop trail and lots of old rock walls/property lines. My dog and I loved it!
A great place to take your dog for a fairly short trek through the forest. Well marked paths, (about 1 mile for the loop) with a few off shooting paths. It’s pretty quiet out there. Not a lot of traffic, and far removed from highways.
If you are an older person or need assistance in anyway do not attempt this trail . This by far is the least maintained trail I’ve been on. My wife tripped, fell hard broke her hand and dislocated two fingers smh . If nothing but rocks and roots are your thing go for it .
They definitely need to maintain these trails better. Granted it’s hiking so there are a ton of rocks and roots consistently throughout the trail. Bugs galore. Even with bug spray forget it. Thankfully I had a mosquito jacket. There’s a few signs throughout, but definitely not enough. In fact they need to put a few more exit / parking lot signs.. … If you don’t know the trail even though it’s small you can very easily get lost on some of the side trails….. This state forest needs to be much better marked throughout. I don’t know if there’s another parking lot or not, we parked on Peck Street. It’s not really a parking lot at all it’s just a little dirt road with a little turnaround at the end. I would not even call this place good for dogs unless you don’t care that they’re covered in ticks. Definitely is not little kid friendly….. Older kids yes. It’s too bad they don’t maintain the trails better.
