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.

Getting wetter

The initial flooding of the side of Cascading Waters gradually spread across the yard over the course of the afternoon, as the snowbanks up on Cataract were undermined by the water. The DPW has been by and taken care of that culvert up on the street, so we are okay for now. We've got a pretty good little stream flowing across the backyard of the Lodge right now, heading under the Lodge itself. That's why it's on piers.
For a bit this afternoon, the Cascade Trail coming down from Cataract was impassable and under water. It isn't so now, but it may well be again.
