Scenic parks and trails make nature easily accessible
Valley Falls locals are a short drive or walk from several scenic walking trails and bike paths. Valley Falls Heritage Park and the nearby River Island Park offer wooded—and in some areas—paved trails along and through the Blackstone River. “The Blackstone River Greenway has a bike path along the river, as well as athletic fields and picnic areas. It’s a great place for picnics or photoshoots,” LaMontagne-Beausoleil adds. “And at Lincoln Woods State Park, wooded biking and walking trails circle Olney Pond, where people also kayak and fish." The historical Monastery Recreation Center, formerly known as Monastery of Our Lady of the Valley when it was occupied by monks in 1900 until a fire destroyed its livability in 1950, is just north of the neighborhood. “Now there’s a library inside, and a huge playground and lots of different walking paths cover the outdoor grounds,” LaMontagne-Beausoleil says.
Valley Falls Heritage Park is a beautiful green space located in downtown Valley Falls.
