    Well-maintained trail, pretty easy walk to the falls. Free map at the entrance which came in handy as there are multiple trails and it could be easy to get turned around. See more..

    - EASY TREK IN THE WOODS ON BOARDWALKS

    With sun coming out from behind the clouds periodically, I decided to get a look at Heron Point Sanctuary and try to get some photos. I found that the trail was mostly boardwalk with stairs up and down. In most places along the trail, it would be a few steps up and then a few steps down further along. No rough terrain to navigate. Without the boardwalk, it would have been very rough terrain on the side of a hill. Don't be intimidated by the steep flight of stairs down to the river from the observation deck at the beginning. The trail itself doesn't have any steep ups or downs like that. It was a pleasant trek in the woods with a few views of the Lamprey River and a waterfall created by the Macallen Dam. I rate Heron Point Sanctuary at 4.0 and can recommend a visit. The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews.

    - Quiet wide trails

    There are deep woods, much water, and mid to late July, many flowers in bloom including pond lilies. Lovely smattering of cardinal flowers, deep red, along the waterways. The main north/south trail is wide, light canopy overhead, completely clear overhead in much of it - good for young kids. West tangents off the north/west trail are at places narrow, steep and riddled with tree roots, with a thick overhead canopy. See more..
  4. 4.0 Wiswall Falls Mill Site (1 review)
    - REMAINS OF A HISTORIC 1800’S MILL
    Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas
    Just off the parking area, there is an info board on the historic Wiswall Falls Mill Site which is located beyond the Wiswall Dam. It is called a historic archaeological industrial site. Thomas Wiswall built a paper mill and power canal here in 1854. His mill burned in 1883. Today, remains of the paper mill, power canal, dam, and sawmill complex are visible along the banks of the Lamprey River. I paused here during my trek to see the dam, fish ladder, this site, and the adjacent park. As a historian, I marveled the durability of the power canal when I saw how intact the large stones were some 166 years after construction. The remains give insight into the harnessing and use of water as a power source in the era before electricity which we take for granted in our time. In 2014, this site was added to the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places. For its historic value and scenic setting, I rate the Wiswall Falls Mill Site at 4.25.
