Fantastic state park with a huge stone chasm suitable for rock climbing, a handful of caves, and (past the edges of the chasm) a hiking loop. Very popular with the children (if you keep them away from the edges). Features various formations with colorful names like "Fat man's misery" and "Devil's pulpit". Note: Be prepared to do some scrambling. One of the most impressive natural formations in Eastern Massachusetts.
