Confirmed from Oliver Mill Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Waterfront park featuring picnic benches and trails around the ruins of an old mill.

A beautiful park in a beautiful part of Massachusetts. Oliver Mill Park has several foot bridges to walk on as well as beautiful streams running through it. There is also an old stone wall there. I definitely recommend checking out this small but historic and cool park.
A beautiful park, perfect for a short walk or a picnic. The herring ladder is interesting and there are plenty of information placards to describe the process. The sound of the water makes it even more relaxing.
Beautiful place to stop and take a walk. Scenic and serene. Enjoyed stretching my legs after a long drive. Families had lunch on blankets in the soft grass. Plenty of history about the fish in the area and the ladder. Loved the old structure ruins and how it takes you back to the days each stone was laid by hand.

“I wish the MPD would park an officer there though, because even during the day, there seems to be a lot of illicit behavior in the parking area.”
