My wife and I recently visited this location and it was perhaps my favorite stop on our entire New England vacation. We visited in October and it was quiet and serene. I sat by the river for an hour and a half just watching the water sparkle and listening to the peace. I loved that I can get out and sit in a chair and smell pine and not hear any noise other than the nature. My wife hiked a beautiful trail and really enjoyed it. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy meals as an individual or as a family.
