Reviews of Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park
"Horrible. First we couldn’t find it. We did find the dam which was pretty small very uneventful and boring. No place to park at all. The site claims there is a walking path. It’s the road with vehicles driving up and down it. Not safe at all. Especially if you have an animal with you like we did. I don’t suggest it for a hike like the site claims."
"Great place to walk. I do the walk from the woolen mill to plummers landing. When you venture to the other side, try the hike up and around goat hill, a good workout, just don’t get lost. See lots of wildlife along the way, even in winter, deer and hawks. Truly a nature preserve. I saw some ATVs, which I can respect a good time on a winter day, but wouldn’t make a habit of it. I like Plummers landing, the benches and picnic tables have had it though."
"I enjoyed the canal section of the park and the tow path which is friendly to wheel chair and bike traffic. If you turn left after the foot bridge there is a short section of the canal out to the stone arch bridge. If you cross the street to the river path it becomes a hiking trail through the woods that is a somewhat challenging walk or a mountain bike ride for experienced riders. Taking a right off the bridge is the main canal path which is very user friendly with some history points of interest. There is a decent amount of paved parking at the visitor center and there is additional parking on the other side of the road on a grass lot"
"This is a beautiful place to go for a nice stroll. The path by the water is beautiful, but the grass paths through the woods are also enjoyable. You'll see all different varieties of wildlife, birds, fowl, turtles, frogs, squirrel chipmunk and a few snakes. This is a great place to bring your dog for a walk. Leashes are required. Lots of paths to walk and off the path places for adventures and to sniff around."
"It was an unplanned visit in a cold weather but overall it was a satisfactory experience. We did walk for 20-30 minutes on the well paved path way next to the river. The visitor center remained closed during our visit. Parking area was small and during the afternoon it was not crowded. I didn’t have much idea on the nature trail so didn’t explore much. This is something I would love to when visiting next time in spring. [update May 2021] As promised - returned in spring and found it super beautiful and relaxing. Oh! Mother Nature you have so many things to offer to us."
