Description

The Heritage Park Trail loops around Coakley and Falls Islands in downtown Canton. The trail is well maintained and is marked by information boards on the industrial history of Canton and the local flora and fauna. Unmarked offshoots from the main trail open up to rocks and views along the Grasse River and Cascade Falls. The trail will pass remnants of an old industrial site and cross a short boardwalk before leading back to the initial footbridge.

A very nice area particularly given the small size.
Feels larger because it was so well laid out.
Plenty of information about the history and being able to see what it has been transformed from is amazing.
Everyone involved in the restoration and planning should be proud.
