There are state parks along the river and canal in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island that offer wonderful trails for walking, hiking, biking and canoeing. A proposed 45 mile Bikeway between Worcester and Providence is in development. There are a series of walking tour and driving tour brochures produced by the National Heritage Corridor and available at the Visitor Information Centers. A variety of ranger-led programs are offered throughout the year in each of the communities. A brochure on accommodations may be received from the Corridor Office, the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council, the Blackstone Valley Visitors' Bureau or one of the visitor centers.
All visitor centers are fully accessible.
Other points of interest should be consulted if there are access questions. Many other points of interest are unstaffed and have minimal facilities. There are many interesting and informative wayside signage. The Providence Banner Trial highlights noted non-profit cultural, historical and architectual sites within a mile radius of Waterplace. Maps and brochures are available at the welcome center.
