This is a very fun trail. The trail starts in Blackstone, MA but the majority of the trail resides in North Smithfield, RI. The dam and waterfall are in Blackstone. I let the dogs take a quick dip into the river as soon as we got there since it was such a hot day, that's why the dogs look wet in some of these photos. The trail quickly crosses into Rhode Island as it continues along side the Blackstone River. The terrain is rocky and rooty enough to be fun, but not too rocky and rooty to be very difficult. There's a complete landscape change toward the end of the trail as it turns away slightly from the river. Per the route on the All-Trails app, we turned around at the strange old building and headed back. The pictures below are from the North Smithfield, RI section of the trail.

This is an odd bike trail, in that this section is very short. The overall Blackstone River Greenway is not completed yet, and this section, disconnected from the rest of the trail, is only about a half mile long in total. It starts at Cold Spring Park in Woonsocket, crosses a newish looking bridge over the Blackstone River into North Smithfield, before ending abrubtly at the Massachusetts border. It's a nice section of bike trail for sure, but not very helpful for bikers trying to get from Worcester to Providence. It is a great place to take the dogs for a walk though! The pictures below are from the North Smithfield section of the trail.

The main portion of the trail just grazes the corner of North Smithfield, between Woonsocket and Lincoln. The marker has all three towns on it.
