North Branch River Park stretches along almost a mile of the North Branch River. A wide, multi-use path runs along the river, and in the hilly terrain above that is a network of smaller multi-use trails, including some trails that are open to mountain biking. The park also includes important wetlands and is home to a diversity of birds and other wildlife. See the links left for Park Rules and history.
See the park map for information on trails, access, and permitted uses.
