Reviews of Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park (Park)

Charles Sutton

The park is beautiful and well-maintained. There is a good 1.25 mile path along the restored Blackstone River Canal, many picnic tables, and large meadows, one of which is used for some special history re-enactments and similar things sponsored by the Park. There is also a trail to the river, and north of River Bend there are trails along the river. We enjoy it often.

Nice place, really busy.

Gary Potter

Very beautiful place very well run park

Julia Nielsen

A fantastic hike on a wide trail that is predominantly flat because it runs next to the canal. The trail is about 3.85 miles from Plummer's Landing to the mill at the end and is an excellent hike. I have seen gorgeous wildlife (and a few water snakes!) and the area is popular with bikers and those walking their dogs.

I love this park. Trails are nice and varied. I can walk long & flat or hilly terrain, per my choice. My favorite place for exercise walking. Wildlife is fun to see, too.

Wonderfully instructive for school children. Rangers from RI and MA were great. Helpful volunteers.

Matt Murphy

I really enjoy coming here, it's a comfort zone of sorts. There's definitely some good opportunities to view wildlife as well. The main trail is ideal for less experienced hikers, with some really good side trails for those that want to go off the beaten path

This is one of my favorite places to go hiking. There are actually three different location to this park. The main area is in Uxbridge and follows the Blackstone canal from Uxbridge to Northbridge. This portion consist of a very flat gravel Trail between Stanley Woolen Mill and East Hartford Avenue which follows the canal tow line. Across the street there is apportion that follows the river up to Goat Hill lock and Plummer's Landing this area is more wooden and go Hill is actually a little moderate hike. There is also a trail that runs up to Lookout Rock where are the views of the Blackstone Valley are great. The second area of the Park is Blackstone Gorge which is located in Blackstone Massachusetts. This consist of a very picturesque man-made waterfall at a dam and about a mile and a half of hiking trails that are pretty easy to hike. The third area of the park is Millville Loc which is located in Millville Massachusetts. This is the smallest separate portion of the park. The lock itself is really an interesting artifact. To get to the lock you take a paved path and then a very short walk down a small hill. When I last visited this area they were doing some pretty big renovations and I believe they are going to join this section 2 part of a bike path in the Woonsocket area.

Patricia DeVries

Great trail to take your dogs to. Very peaceful. Will keep on visiting.

Very interesting site. The tow path is level and flat. A nice easy walk. There are walking paths in the woods that are a still easy but narrower and not as smooth.

Floyydd Mumford

Great place.

Ronald Hewett

A great place to walk the canal the fields. Great.fishing for carp plus have a little package lunch and sit on the tables and benches

Brian Vermette

Riverbend is one of my favorite places to walk almost year around. Its a beautiful, scenic, sightseeing heart healthy walking trail with a canal on one side and a river on the other. Its a good 2 mile round trip from Stanley Mill to Tri-River and back. Its also a visitor center.
