This land grades from woods that tend to be wet into a wetland that tends to have trees. Plan to get your feet wet. A good place for observing wild flowers and birds. Take a left onto Base Hill Road.
Parking is available on the right just after entering the condominium road.
The main trail along the east side of the river begins at the West St. Entrance. An exercise course donated by Cheshire Medical Center exists in stations along the path. The path extends north to the bike trail near the Rt. At that point you can cross the bike path bridge and follow a much smaller trail along the west bank of the river north to the Tanglewood Estates trailer court or follow the paved bike path which continues on to Wheelock Park . The park was newly landscaped and rededicated in 1996.
