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 Running

The past week has seen a fair amount of rainfall and as a result the Cascades are indeed running.

The trailhead has seen moderate to heavy use today with hikers passing through.

Presently it is 4:02pm,
the pressure is 29.83" Hg and steady,
the temperature is 74.7 degrees F and falling,
the humidity is 66% and rising,
there has been no new rainfall since midnight,
the USFS fire danger is low,
and the radar map shows no new storms inbound at the moment.

Note: There is land clearing work going on to our south as the neighbors push through in building a small subdivision.
Note 2: The same fate was slated for the Lodge and Cascading Waters along the brook and trail not too long ago, so take some heart.
Note 3: Much as we have taken great care to observe the development that went on the north line of Cascading Waters with an eye towards conservation, so we will be watching over this project as well.

Apologies for the gap in time but the Lodge has been under interim management as we have been off exploring other portions of the North American continent.
