Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

Cascades are ROARING

I know it is late, after dark, and cold,
BUT the Cascades are ROARING!

If you have a flashlight, a sense of adventure, and a yen to do so, head on over to the stone bridge on Cataract Street.
I'd tell you to come in from Olean Street and take the trail but it is really sloppy out there and while a short hike 0.1 mi. it might not be your cup of tea slogging in the dark next to the brook.


This sort of level of flow happens only a few times a given year, and without additional rainfall it will be impressive, but smaller even tomorrow morning. At the moment the brook is fast, furious, and wide. It looks like a different brook entirely.

There are and have been folks with flashlights at the bridge admiring this evening.

Currently:
34 degrees F
98% humidity
