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.

Beeches are turning
We appear to have good healthy maples around here (a mixed blessing; some of them are Norway maples), so they haven't turned yet. Our beeches are starting now, though; they're the bright yellow leaves you'll start to see in the forest.
At 8:30 am, it is 57 degrees and steady
94% humidity and steady
Barometer is at 30.12 inches and steady
Overcast, but no rain as of yet
Fire danger remains LOW
It's chilly and damp out there and the brook is running.
Take Rt. 122 N/Chandler Street to Tatnuck Square. At the 2nd set of lights at Pleasant Street, go straight onto Mower Street between Sovereign and Flagship banks. At the Y, bear right onto Olean Street, and look for the Cascading Waters sign 1/2 mile on your left.
From Holden
Take Route 31 S towards Paxton. Take a left onto Reservoir Street (when it splits from 31). Follow past all the reservoirs into Worcester. Cascading Waters is less than 1/2 mile from the city line on your right.
