A beautiful spot for picnicking and watching the Charles River rush over the dam. Several picnic tables, benches and overlooks on both sides of the river provide places to enjoy the water. Up the river, a beautiful stone bridge is another landmark to check out. While I was there, I saw some kayakers take their boats out of the river.
