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.

The Stream Gauge is Free of Ice!

As of 11:30 a.m. we have managed to free the stream gauge on the Cascades Brook of the accumulated ice buildup.

Presently it is registering 8.0" of flow.

The Cascades are running.

The 11:30 a.m. conditions are:

35.6 degrees F and steady;
52% humidity and steady;
30.09" of mercury and rising.

Oh, and a safety note:
The packed snow of the trail has turned to ice, and this makes segments of trail quite treacherous. Good gripping boots are in order today.
