Pretty little park not to far from Grantham downtown. Has many many different hiking trails and a nice look over of sugar river. Would recommend for a nice peaceful hike. Note: it does appear quickly when driving on the road be aware

I'm not sure how crowded this place is in the summer but in the fall it's lovely! There was no one there, the trees were beautiful and the little river is perfect to dip your toes or sit by it. The trail has a bunch of trash codes you can scan for information on different plans, trees and wildlife. We only stopped and walked around for 5 minutes but I would love to go back and check out the whole Trail.

This was the loveliest little park to eat my lunch at on my way home to VT! And as an environmental educator, it made my heart so happy to see all the informational signs and species IDs! I went upstream towards the cascades and observed several cool fungi and insects, dipped my toes in, enjoyed the company of some tiny fish, and had the place mostly to myself on a Sunday! (There were just a few sweet families downstream). Highly recommend for an easy, family-friendly hike, because you don’t always need dramatic views or elevation gains for a beautiful adventure! Really well-maintained and cared for.

Amazing trail. I have a 3 and 7 year old (in 2025) they did just fine. We made it last a full hour doing thr whole trail and than had lunch on the benches provided ♥️

Easy little hike on well-marked and well-maintained trails with lots of great Brook/rock exploring! It’s adjacent to 89 so you will hear interstate noise along the west edge of yellow trail, but for a quick afternoon outing with kids to just get some exploring it - it was perfect. Nice investment of little signs pointing out interesting features with QR codes for more info.
