Hike of the Blackstone River Valley State ParkUxbridge/Northbridge, MASunday September 23rd, 2007 |
 |
Between Plummer's Landing in Northbridge and the stone arch bridge in Uxbrige, the Blackstone River meanders through twists and turns in a pristine landscape. We caught glimpses of the river as we hiked this stretch along the Plummer's Trail, canal towpath, and Goat Hill Trail. |
|
In contrast to the meandering river, our trails were mostly a straight shot from point A to
point B. The 5 mile round trip was an easy and relaxing hike. Our only minor obstacle involved some fancy footwork
where a bridge had washed out.
|
| Later we climbed up to King Philip's Lookout, a rock outcrop from which we had a wonderful view of the river valley where we'd just hiked. |
