A straight one mile walk down to the end and then you turn around and walk back. Whoopee, right? But it’s a pleasant, easy walk on flat ground and the view of the river is pretty. Especially where the water flows so shallowly underneath the arch in the bridge. There was a tree laying across the path when I was there but it was easy to climb over. Think this would be a good place to walk even when there’s snow on the ground… the view of the waterfall won’t be as obscured by brush then either.

Ghosts dams and beavers The Stillwater Scenic Trail is a walking path that runs along an old railway bed for about a mile. Flat and very easy to walk on it’s a nice place for a stroll along the Woonasquatucket River and then by Stillwater Pond. Even though it isn’t a long walking path it has all kinds of interesting things to look at. The trail goes right under a cool highway bridge and follows the river until it becomes Stillwater Pond. The remains of several old dams are still visible as well as evidence of lots of beaver activity. It does get a it spooky in dark or foggy weather because the trail is tucked in between the river on one side and a hill with some industrial looking places on the other. On most of the trail you feel very alone and isolated. Lots of old foundations and even some abandoned and creepy buildings are still visible. They are the remains of Stillwater Village. a place now long gone. Lots of stories about people seeing strange things and hearing odd noses while walking along this path. The last time I went it was a foggy and rainy day so it was a bit spooky but of course I didn’t see or hear anything unexpected. A pleasant and different sort of walking path. You get to see some cool natural sights as well as the remains of man made structures. An interesting place best visited in the light of day
