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.

Last Chance for Hiking Before the Storm

Currently it is 7:22 am and partly cloudy.
26.4 degrees F and steady;
85% humidity and steady;
29.74" of mercury and steady.

There are glimpses of sun from time to time but that should fade.

While the barometer is not yet convinced of it the radar map shows that the system is nearly upon us and the National Weather Service says we should expect precipitation after noontime. Since much of this will fall as rain here are two observations:

Hike now while it is dry powdered snow if you are going out today.
If the rain really comes down it will melt the snow cover and the Cascades may again roar this evening into tomorrow morning. We will post when she gets going, and often if they threaten the lodge.

Enjoy!
