While a little busy at the parking/trailhead area itself, once you progress a bit through the woods, things quiet down considerably and you're able to find tranquility and splendid isolation to your heart's desire (yes, far from the madding crowd ... good old Hardy). The main trail culminates at a dam with fish ladders and it's impressive to see the torrent of water gushing over. Upstream from the dam, the river flows leisurely and on a beautiful end-of-summer day like this, the water is a pristine mirror. Many trails to choose from (though they tend to be unmarked - but it's hard to get lost as they all tend to loop back to the main): we walked a branch off the main path that ran right along the riverbank; and we found another trail that went by a "fragrance garden" and a little gnome village which added a touch of whimsy. Great for the kids and many dog walkers (and am happy to say, no doggy doo-doo's noted, so glad to see owners picking up after them!)

Really beautiful and peaceful place to talk a walk. The trail is only a mile long but it's peaceful…read moreand nice for a quick break from work. If you go straight all the way down, you will reach the fish dam. Scattered throughout the trails on either sides are little paths that go to a fragrance garden, gnome village, and pine tree trail. Parking is free.

This park is on the small side but has a beautiful view of the water. It's a good place to sit and…read morehave a picnic. Many people walk their dogs here, so poop is common but its not so bad that I don't come back. They let the grass grow tall throughout the summer allowing many birds and other small creatures to live there. Then they cut it short for the winter. Paths stay fairly clear, though they can get muddy after rain. Don't wear your best shoes here! Some paths head into the woods around the edge, so bring your bug repellent. My favorite part of the park is the rocks by the water and the grand view of the bay and the Standish Monument sticking up out of the trees in the distance.

A brand new state…read morepark Sweets Knolls is a brand new state park that is still in the development stages. It is open to the public but to get into the park it looks like you are driving into someones driveway and then walking into their backyard. Not a lot of parking right now but it doesn't matter since know one seems to even know this is a park. It does have a large sign but there still is a lot of work to be done here. The park right now is pretty much just open fields with some trails down by the Taunton River. Some great fishing in the river and there also are places to launch a canoe or kayak. Lots of great old pine and oak trees are on the property as well as a little pond. The area was heavily occupied by the Natives American tribes and lots of artifacts have been found nearby so I suspect lots of historic treasures will be found down by the river by people with a keen eye. The property also has several miles of old rail line that will probably be turned into a walking and biking trail. The land is pretty flat so it's not a very challenging hike but I imagine this will become more of a casual place where families will come to walk, fish, look for birds or have a picnic. Sweet Knoll is indeed open to the public but it still needs some work to fulfill it's final purpose. It's great that the state purchased this land because the area is beautiful and allows access to the river. Right now it feels like you are walking around someones backyard but I suspect in the future that will change.

Like other reviewers said it does look like you're going into someone's private driveway but its…read morenot. We went and after we checked out the pond we went on a trail that was going in the direction of somerset. I think most other reviewers went the opposite direction. I didn't see any markers but the trails were easy to follow. Although I would be weary of people crossing the train bridge, especially children as it did feel a little unsafe. Overall I thought this was a pretty fun place to explore.

There's a shallow pool here that's open in the summer. Bathrooms right next to it with a pay phone. Haven't seen one of those in ages. Lots of picnic tables with grills and water fountains.

I will definitely be putting this in my rotation of places to ride my bike.

There are basketball courts, a baseball field, 2 tennis courts and a pretty nice playground overlooking the beach and ocean. It's a fantastic place to take a kayak out or do some fishing. There a slightly rocky beach that gradually goes into the ocean. This is clearly a local spot and even though it is less than 5 minutes from Plymouth Rock it was nearly empty on a Sunday afternoon. It's pet friendly and there were multiple dogs jumping in the ocean and running around. There are also some restrooms if needed. There was no parking fee either.
