Mine Falls Park
8 riverside street and 6 other access points, (http://www.gonashua.com/c...). this park, commonly called "the jewel of nashua", has miles of biking and jogging trails that follow the old canal and the nashua river. it stretches over 325 acres from the western side of route 3 to the old mills on the edge of downtown. it is not unlikely you will see beavers, otters or muscrat in the canal or river, as well as ducks and other waterfowl. it is a favorite fishing spot for the locals as well. at the western entrance there is a hydroelectric plant next to an old brick gatehouse from which you can see far down the river. on the other side of the plant is a waterfall that is very dramatic in spring after the snow melts. a boat ramp offers access to the west side of the nashua river that leads to hollis.
