Also known as the Assonet Ledge, Freetown Ledge was formed by quarrying in the 1800s. Granite from the ledge was used in buildings around the state. Today, the ledge is a great place to visit on a walk or to go for a climb. The graffiti-covered ledge overlooks the Fall River.

Hiking

Amy doesn’t know what she is talking about; the ledge doesn’t overlook the “Fall River”- Fall River is a nearby city, not a waterway. Also, the hike up to the ledge will not be “easy” for anyone who has unsure footing, heart problems, or requires use of a wheelchair. Please start the trail not at the point marked here, but rather at the main parking area a bit further up the road so that you do not intrude into the Wampanoag’s ceremonial space.
