The rest of the 5400 acre forest offers 50 miles of unpaved roads and trails for horseback riding, cross country skiing, and mountain biking. Seasonal motorcycle and snowmobile users are welcome, as are hunters and fishermen in season. Rattlesnake Brook is stocked with brook trout each spring. The Forest also includes the 227 acre Watuppa Reservation, the site of annual tribal meetings of the Wampanoag Nation, which belongs to that tribe. Profile Rock, a 50-foot outcropping, shows a profile of what the Wampanoags believe to be Chief Massasoit.
