Great side trip- easy to find. Easy to walk along the river- great road. Would be good for walking, running, and biking.

This is a nice quiet place enjoyed by my whole family. My kids have been going here since they began walking. Water shoes and time to play in the stream a must. Fishing is good too.

Located just off Rte 9 in Chesterfield, NH, this is a short (0.7 miles round trip if you stick to the trail), pretty walk to a series of small cascades. Low fences allow you to look over the edge of the gorge without having to worry about falling.

High above the river gorge is a pathway to walk and explore. It is steep for kids and you need to be careful. But it is so beautiful and natural that it is worth a look see. Bring a lunch, sit and enjoy!

Along the General Lafayette Trail, Route 143 West, you will come to the center of Chesterfield, Massachusetts. Just past the town hall, there is a normal looking side road, Ireland Street, and up a bit on River Road a small parking lot. It's hard to believe what's down the rocky hill from it. A natural wonderment. Steep rock ledges and cliffs wind as far as you can see. Too bad it's a little hard to walk on the paths and it doesn't afford a more expansive view. But, it's worth the side trek.Carol Colitti LevineTravel Treks

Rushing boulder strewn creek, falling yellow leaves, a mossy primeval forest and a vigorous walk. This short outing added a special dimension to our fall weekend in New England.

I went mountain biking on Labor Day weekend with 10 other members of my women's outdoor recreation group, and it was a blast! We rode about 7 miles round-trip on the East Branch Trail (River Road), which, as the name implies, follows the Westfield River. The water level was low because of this year's drought, but we managed to find some wonderful spots for wading. Even on a holiday weekend with gorgeous weather, the place was very quiet -- we saw a couple of groups of hikers and a few cyclists, but only 2 motorized trail bikes. The road is pretty rutted and has some rocks the size of cantaloupes, so a hybrid or mountain bike is necessary if you're going on 2 wheels.The area is run by the Trustees of Reservations in Massachusetts. Swimming isn't allowed, but I know folks who come here to skinnydip. In summer, a restroom and picnic tables are available near the parking area on the gorge rim.Here's the website:http://www.thetrustees.org/places-to-visit/pioneer-valley/chesterfield-gorge.html

Especially in fall. Access to gorge is denied. There is dirt road that parallels it and the stream all the way down to the Knightsville reservoir & dam. I walked a few miles of it and it is easy going for the most part. Piece of cake on a trail bike. Above the head of the gorge is a small swimming area. Water is cold.

Decided to take a road trip from southern CT to MA to check out various sites....i'm glad this is one of the places we stopped. The views of the gorge are wonderful...and there's a nice walking path that goes right along side it. Great place to walk/hike/ and enjoy nature.
