West Hill Dam Hike with NPS

During the months of December, January, and February, rangers will lead outdoor hikes throughout the Blackstone Valley. Enjoy the crisp area and explore new or familiar territory during the colder months.

Please wear sturdy footwear and comfortable gear suitable for the weather. Many hikes will cover uneven terrain (expect exposed roots, rocks, and mud). Bring your own water and wear orange, particularly during January hikes. Hikes will proceed in the case of light rain, but staff will cancel events if harsh or dangerous conditions are expected.

Upon arrival at the starting point, look for signs to indicate parking locations.
For all programs, seek additional information and updates/cancellations on our website and Facebook.
