I thought this was a great hike. Quite a few hills so you do get a workout. The waterfall was nice. Very picturesque. There are several different entrances to this park. I think there is more parking available at one of the entrances. The one that we chose only had a few spaces.

I came here to just enjoy some quiet away from the city, and I was able to do just that! It is just a trail through the swamp and woods with some wooden bridges over the swamp. Its not difficult trekking. I didn't find the waterfall...not sure where this was? I walked out for a mile and walked back. On the way back I ended up going toward a different street so I had to go back and take the right trail. I wish that the trails were marked better as there are some little well trodden paths that lead to nowhere but the railroad or swamp. But I enjoyed a place to enjoy some peace and quiet.

If you love being outdoors, hikes, sounds of nature, and wildlife then you should go here. It's not a very hard hike/walk but if you like peace and quiet you'll love this.

Look up the review by Mainemountainbear who tells you all you need to know. It is predominantly a series of trails in the woods, with well blazed trails and convenient markers at most intersections. Depending on the trails taken you may cross a lightly used railroad track twice, so be certain to check for activity before crossing. A delightful find in the city. The parking area on Rowe Ave. is small and tight, fitting at most 4 cars. Trails do lead to other streets, but as a visitor I am uncertain what parking is available on them.

The trails are easy to hike, and the paths are clear but I think they could be marked better. It's not the most exciting hike or waterfall but it was still nice. The marshland was neat & there were plenty of birds to see! I was disappointed by all the trash around the waterfall though. I wish I had brought a bag to clean up all the beer cans etc.
