The hike here is always nice but the water is not always flowing. That’s nature I guess. It is still an accomplishment to hike to the top and when the water is flowing it is really pretty. We have gone a few times with different results and hope to one day see it really flowing.

I’m not sure if this place only has water in the spring, but the water was completely dried up over here. There was no waterfall or river or even a creek. Just dried leaves. It may be more scenic in the spring. But in October, this is just a forest with a rocky barely-there trail.

A lovely little cataract deep in the woods. Best to go in spring when there is a lot of water or you may be disappointed.

Just a short visit but it is always relaxing just to watch the waterfalls and gives a great start to your day.

We travelled on vacation to visit my son and saw this place on the web as one of the 15 best things to do in the area. So we travelled over to Cascading Waters in Worcester Mass. What a joke this place is, a total and complete waste of time. The area had received some heavy rains a day or two before our visit and we expected to see water cascading down the falls as shown in these pictures and on the website. We saw nothing at all no water certainly no cascading water !!!!!!! The trails were dangerous to walk on with rocks and trees jutting out everywhere and making walking on the trail very tricky. I would not even waste my time going anywhere near this place even if you don't care about the water cascading. The trails are horrible !
Without being gross that only cascading water we would have seen is if I relieved myself on one of the trails !!!!!

In the outskirts of Worcester, this area was a great surprise. Ample parking, with a well marked trail system, this hike very nice. There are loops, and distance can be altered to preference. There are areas of elevation, stepping over/on rocks, and wet but not muddy places. This last part would likely change after some rains. I would recommend for hearty family hikers.

great spot to hike, not over populated so you really feel your out in nature! Well kept and marked! Way up in back is an old dump found a couple of really old cool bottles! The waterfall is so nice!

We stopped by while waiting for an egg drop in Worcester. We had about 2 hours to kill... The hike was great. We parked on Olean st. You walk up a little hill and bam waterfalls. In the future we will park on the other side so we can get a little hike in first. You can keep going up past the waters and it's an easy, enjoyable hike. There's several big boulders that my 3 year old loved climbing. We will be back

The trails are well marked, with a map of the area and trails at the parking lot (which is small). There are 3 access points and several trails winding through the property. The falls are pretty, but the trail to the falls has been changed due to erosion; this is the steepest part and there are 2 ways to get up to the top. The trails are lovely in the spring when the mountain laurel is blooming. Don't attempt this after a rainfall as it will be slippery. There are trail maps online or take a photo of the map at the parking lot.

You could, they're are plenty of rocks and open areas to sit on, near the top of the falls it looks like they have a little camp fire area. however the falls are pretty close to a neighborhood, so you might want to walk into the woods a bit to find an open area or large Rock. If you want something a little more private /naturey
