Cascading Waters made Mr. Southwick's interesting column on Boynton Park today:
Boynton Park is one of the city’s jewels. Located in the extreme northwest corner of Worcester, it runs into Paxton and Holden and features pleasant glades, woodlands and hiking paths. On the east it abuts Cascades East, owned by the Greater Worcester Land Trust. East of that 100-acre parcel are the famed “cascades” — spectacular waterfalls plunging and foaming down through the rocks, especially in the spring. Those used to be viewable from Cataract Street before it was closed as a public way. Today a short path from Olean Street leads to it.
You can still see the Cascades from Cataract Street, as the public way ends after the bridge. But the path is US! Thank you, Mr. Southwick. Do read the rest of the column, as it's interesting stuff!
Clear and cold this morning, but because there's no wind, it doesn't feel nearly as cold.
At 9am, it is 32 degrees and rising
51% humidity and falling
Barometer is at 30.33 and steady
Fire danger is back up to LOW
Stream and Cascades are still flowing
We're really noticing the sun coming up earlier these days, and so are the birds. They were up and singing before six this morning!

Hi, I have been hiking the boynton park trails since the ice storm. Some are in good shape, but some are pretty bad. How are yours? Me and the dogs are getting a tad antsy to try some new routs. Sorry if this info is in an earlier posting!

Tina,
We're always glad to have updates on the trails. We do have an idea of which trails need work once spring comes; we're even lining up some crews for it.
Watch this space, as we'll be asking for help!
The GWLT has already made me a ranger, I volunteered to lead a crew. I will be at your place on Saturday with the dogs. Maybe I'll see you!
