This walkway has some of the most lovely set of views in Lowell. In some places, you wouldn't even…read morerealize you are IN Lowell, it looks so otherworldly. The view from the top of the dam is so quiet and serene and HIGH. It's not a long walkway, and one of the entrances has some construction going on right now, but since it's only open seasonally, it's worth a visit when you can make it. My kids love to watch the little minnows and birds and all the wildlife that lives in the river. Lots of herons, too. For being an old path, it's pretty well maintained and only has room to improve as the city continues to update all the river walks as planned over the years.

This is a nice walkway along the Northern Canal. It's been re-done and is very pretty. The…read moreentrance is on the Mammoth Rd/School St. Bridge. The historic walkway along the Northern Canal island is open when river conditions permit between May 15 and October 15. To find out the daily status if the walkway is open, call the park. It's closed when the water is too high. You can hear traffic and sort of see civilization between a few of the trees, but the foliage is so thick and pretty that it feels like you're in a forest . It's a nice place to go for an urban hike.

This is a great park. It's one of the only areas of Lowell where you can actually "climb" a hill,…read morealthough with all the trees in summer you won't get much of a view ;) You can catch glimpses of the mountains of New Hampshire if yoou're lucky though. The park is about 35 acres, 22 of which are wooded, meaning unkept. There are some awesome old gnarly trees growing in there, and lots of birch and maple I think. It's a great palce to get away from "the city" and be in nature for awhile. I didn't see any facilities like playgrounds or bathrooms, so if you bring kids, make 'em pee ahead of time, and bring some toys or something. No dogs allowed in the wooded area according to a sign, but we saw dogs (on leashes) in there anyway. It felt so good to be up high again after living in Colorado, even though the hike to the "summit" only takes about 5 minutes. BONUS: just down the street is a hand-held car wash with vacuums. Part of the Belividere neighborhood, this park is definitely worth a visit at least once per season just to see how it changes. There's a paved trail to the top of the hill so you don't have to climb through the woods unless you want to. BONUS 2: Geocaching spots nearby...

Don't let the others reviews whining about dog poop deter you. The only litter I saw was near the…read moreentrance of the trail (ironically where the only trash bin I saw was since people are lazy). I swear, too many people use Yelp just to complain. I appreciate how well-marked the trails are here. There are many signs and color markings on trees to tell you what trail you're on and the intersections with other trails. The trails aren't too steep but there are a lot of tree roots so be sure to watch your step. There are nice views of Lake Cochichewet along the trails and at least one bench nearby so you can relax and enjoy the view. I did see one off-leash dog so I can see how that would be annoying. Thankfully the dog was friendly and all the other dogs I saw were leashed. I brought my dog on a leash and he enjoyed the walk. Parking lot is a little small but it's free. I plan to come here with my dog again and explore the other trails.

It is not a solitary walk in the woods but the few people we ran into were nice. Everyone showed proper dog etiquette. The bikes didn't bother the dog. The only spoil was some guy got off his bike , took the 2 pairs of shoes he bought, put them in his back pack and left the bags and boxes by side of trail. Some people spoil everything. I picked them up.
