Great place to walk and explore. The downside is the entrance to the parking lot abd the parking lot itself. Very poor entrance where I nearly damaged my car by bottoming out slamming hard against the bottom of my car. I stopped visiting the area after this happened several months ago. I plan to return today to see if the entrance is the same. If so, I’m turning right around and leaving.
Today I visited and found the entrance remains the same or worse. I did not enter the parking lot but did park across Rt 70 in a pullout area. The trails were nice and is was nice finding the Nashua filled with water!
So why has the entrance been ignored fir so long?

This is great hike, length and easy trail- love the views.

I really like this trail, part of which rambles alongside the Nashua River, with some very pretty views and picnic tables and benches if you want to sit and enjoy the view. The one thing to be aware of is that it's VERY buggy in the summer and you'll want to bring your deep woods bug spray to ward off the mosquitos, as well as a wide-brimmed hat if you have one. They're pretty relentless. Other than that, a very cool spot for a relaxing walk or a vigorous hike.
A great trail to take your dog on a walk! There's a wide path that's maintained, which is great for dog walkers. We have yet to get ticks here. Our dog loves the stream and there are plenty of benches to relax or have a picnic
Absolutely stunning hike. It was not very buggy (we all wore bug spray). It did not smell bad. My kids loved hiking down to the river and exploring the rocks and sand.
Little legs most likely can't do the whole loop.

Such a wonderful area- well maintained walking paths. Side trails for mountain biking with beautiful scenes along the Nashua River. Personal favorite multipurpose trail. Leashed dog friendly with a fun spot they can jump in the river!
This place was beautiful! Went for a 5 mile hike in this area and the scenery changes so often to keep things interesting. It was not very buggy at all either. I also appreciate the minimal elevation changes to keep this a fun relaxing hike.
An excellent, lightly rugged trail with about a five mile loop. Lots of small wildlife and side trails to explore along with nice riverviews and some old mill ruins. It's easy to miss the parking entrance from the road so drive slow.
