Took my 2 dogs here for the first time today. Beautiful scenery and sounds, the water is very relaxing. Trails are well-kept and you can choose the type of terrain you want. Very quiet and peaceful.

Gorgeous hike along the river. The trail goes into the woods, be prepared to climb on rocks as its not a paved trail. Great hike along the river.

A pleasant walking area in the woods and along the water. It provides just enough separation from the houses and buildings around that you feel like youre much more remote than you actually are.

Didnt explore very much. Only one of four were prepared for rocky and steep terrain. Appeared to have many spots near the water for a picnic, but must be willing to navigate a 25 to 50 feet hill to get there. Rating is based on a very short hike. Will try again with my boots and probably poles.

Brought my 3 nephews here for some educational fun with entomology, catching bugs with our nets and running around like idiots. The great outdoors. :)

We went for a walk there it was calming and just the right amount of time to walk to the end. The only thing I would say, if youre unsteady or Walk with a cane there are tree roots you have to watch for.

Cool place for a hike or impromptu picnic. If youre a kayaker, you can kayak upstream several miles, passing under a historical three level railroad crossing.

Its beautiful here. Seemingly tiny and sorta off grid its a beautiful place to be close with nature. There is a nice walking trail along the water and Lots of areas for breaks and photo ops. Awesome to bring the kids or take a break from the kids and be one with nature for a few minutes

Calmness, relaxation, tranquility, breathtaking beauty, happiness........all words that only barely describe the environment of this hidden gem of nature!! However, since COVID19 came about-the beautiful Kindness Project Inspirational rock bed has become trampled, overgrown, and seemingly, forgotten. During a recent trip to Wasaga Beach, we collected several rocks that we will be transforming into new messages of Hope and inspiration, and motivation. We will then place them in the Rock bed at the kindness project site. Please help us restore this site!!!

Not sure how this is rated one if the best hiking spots in the area... Can walk the entire area in maybe a half hour. Some spots are cool looking down at the river, but if youre looking for an actual hike I wouldnt recommend here. If youre just looking to kill a little bit of time then have at it.

Trail markers can be hard to follow but other than that the trails are pretty nice. One follows the river a decent distance and the rest move off to the side some.

This is actually 1 of 3 parts of the Blackstone River and Canal heritage area. The Gorge is located in Blackstone Massachusetts. It offers a beautiful man-made waterfall at the dam. The area also offers about a mile and a half hiking trails which are relatively easy to hike.

This is my favorite local park for leisure & nature walking. Miles of trails offer the chance to choose whether you prefer flat or hilly terrain. Go to the Riverbend Farm Visitors Center for a trail map.

I was actually at the Blackstone River and Canal Park in Uxbridge, a few miles upriver from the Gorge. The Blackstone is a river filled with great views, wonderful hiking and biking, and opportunities for watercraft. Both Massachusetts and Rhode Island have good parks along what was the hardest working river in the country.

Beautiful area of Massachusetts. This place offers several trails by the river, perfect for dog walking and light hiking. A bit of hilly terrain so not great for people with mobility issues or injuries. Offers a parking lot, picnic benches, and a railing/standing area near the waterfall. Decent fishing spots as well.
