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.

Precipitation Record is Crushed!

2008 - 8.80" ---> 9.17" (minimum until I find a more official tally)
1981 - 8.37"
1900 - 7.45"


It snowed something like an inch and a half before switching over to rain. At the lodge we were able to track the rainfall last night at 0.39", but the snow and rain together eluded us. Suffice to say that we are now well over the best ever recorded for February. If you are going to beat a record for rainfall, why not blow it out of the water? (so to speak!)

Current Conditions at 7:07 am:
33.3 degrees F and steady;
98% humidity and steady;
29.21" of mercury and steady.

Wear waterproof footwear!
There is a thick layer of slush everywhere out there.
