The rock itself is six feet tall and almost round. The surrounding landscape also contains many boulders and crags. The rock was once part of a tower used to view the landscape. The Wolf Rock Nature Preserve which holds Wolf Rock is 108 acres in total. It is the first acquisition of the Joshua's Trust and includes part of the Nipmuck Trail.The Wolf Rock Nature Preserve is adjacent to Sawmill Brook Preserve and contains many trails. It is popular with rock climbers. It is mentioned as far back as the eighteenth century and was included in various deeds.
