Hiking
This is just some glacial erratics which are pretty common in New England. The trail leading to this is very narrow and not well maintained. Unless you really enjoy exploring Dogtown I wouldn't bother with this

Hiking
The Whales Jaw is a massive granite boulder that once resembled an open whale's mouth. Like the other massive boulders in Dogtown Woods, this boulder was deposited by retreating glaciers eons ago. Unfortunately, 1989, a piece of the Whales Jaw boulder broke off but the majority of it still stands as it has for centuries and is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
