Beautiful stand alone park that is part of the metropark systerm. This is a small park but has some really beautiful areas for some great pictures like the Great falls of Tinkers Creek which to me are better than Brandywine falls. They have paved pathways to get to the falls plus you can see the via duct and ruins of the old mill. The one draw back is finding the park. It is located on Willis and Taylor Rd. You literally have to go through a business parking lot to get to the park's parking lot. Otherwise it is worth the effort.
This is such a lovely drive. It had rained earlier so we did not picnic but lots of places to eat a packed lunch and breath in the fresh fall air are available. Needless to say I took many photos and we had to stop for deer crossing.
Parking right there and you can go out onto the old viaduct and read about some of the history of it. Then there's a nice little paved path that goes down into the tree's down to the creek. There's also a couple of dirt path's off the main path.
I would definitely recommended this place if in the area. It's a short walk less than a half mile. They signs here add to the history and what you are looking at the falls themselves are huge here and you can fell the mist of the water. There's a little tunnel to walk through but it is dark and shrinks in height but fun to explore.
This park does a great job with displays sprinkled throughout the trail giving you more information about the past uses of the area. There's a few different opportunities to go off the beaten path and get close to the water.I definitely recommend a short trip (1 hr) to check out the history, river and falls!
My husband and I enjoy going here to just relax. We have been here many times just to take in the views, a little picnic, and even just to talk. Good history and cool things to see as well. There are benches and you can get very close to the water. A nice little gem in the city of Bedford.
Having grown up next to this park, fished its streams and hunted mushrooms and may apples with my dad, and returned often, I can assure you this is a place to walk and relax in non-threatening natural surroundings. Say hello for me.
This is a great little park. The waterfall is lovely. Most of the path is paved, though it might be a bit too steep for wheelchairs. There's signs around explaining the history of the place which is nice.
This was SO worth our time and side trip to visit. Living history abounds and the Great Falls are easily accessible and well worth the hike into the park. Take time to read about the community's history and to seek out the remains of times gone by. Free parking and access is also a plus.
Beautiful park with trails along the creek complete with waterfalls. Historic plaques along the way with interesting facts about the area. Serene lush green surroundings right behind downtown Bedford. Don't be afraid to walk through the tunnel. Be careful with small children who might want to get too close to the edge. Bring your camera.
