Nice small nature area that has a short walk to the rivers falls. The remainder of the park is relatively flat and good for people with children!
What a beautiful place that is so well maintained. From the curious ridged path to the river, to the wide mowed grassy way ringing two enchanting hay fields. Thank you everyone who took a part in creating and maintaining this treasure.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Didn't get to see the whole park by any means but my kiddos loved the creek and waterfall. Got to catch minniws and crawfish and see some neat birds. Super easy hiking for my littlest ones but beautiful views nonetheless. A big hit. Lots of parking options, highly accessible, Picnic friendly. Didnt run into a lot of dogs so all around it was pretty great! Can't wait to go back!
Good spot for an easy, quick walk to relax near some small falls.
Great nature area! Unfortunately it has been on the receiving end of human involvement via a salt storage facility. Love fishing and kayaking there
Very easy hikes to a lovely end result the waterfall/river. I take my dog to swim there often. Handicap Parking is available right next to the river for the less able bodied people to enjoy a day at the water as well.
This is a nice place for a small hike or a good walk. The trails are in decent shape and bridges and boardwalks help to keep one's feet dry. I found that the trail signage could be improved,as some are illegible and degraded due to their age. Some additional signage would be helpful here and there also.
A great place to walk right in the village! This time of the year almost spring! claws on your feet are required, as ice, water and snow are abundant. Beautiful spot by the river, trails to wander, and the new suspension bridge behind the Shelburne Supermarket is really wonderful!
Lovely nature trail along the river and a great place to go for a walk or bring your dog for a walk!
This area contains a network of trails on both sides of the LaPlatte. Much of it is on town land or rights of way, but many spur trails head off onto private land. Much of the trail system is located in class 1 or class 2 protected wetlands so trail improvement options are limited. There are many small bridges and 100 yards of untreated hemlock puncheon in the class 1 section between LaPlatte Crossing and Shelburne Market, but other areas can still be very muddy in spring or after heavy rains. It is a true floodplain and on 11/1/2019 the area near he puncheon was 4 feet under water. Besides the Shelburne Market, LaPlatte Circle and Falls Rd entrances, there is a new public right of way to the eastern trails on Mill River Lane but no parking!. There are plans for a pedestrian bridge along Falls Rd so folks don’t have to walk in the road to cross Falls Rd Bridge.
