"Lowell boasts a remarkable network of nineteenth-century
canals created to provide power to the bustling textile mills that
operated along the water's edge. Today the buildings remain and
continue to evoke the sense of a great industrial city. Visitors
can participate in activities, including canal rides, and explore
exhibits about Lowell's role in America's industrial history
presented in conjunction with the Lowell National Historical Park.
A Victorian garden in the heart of the downtown area, and over two
miles of landscaped esplanade, summer concerts, and swimming and
boating in the Merrimack River are additional attractions at this
popular park.
Things to know before you go...
The swim area is manged by the City of Lowell from July -
August.
The boat ramp (managed by DCR) is composed of 42 trailer lots, 2 HP
trailer lots, 18 car top lots and 2 HP car top lots.
We spent many summers at this park going for walks, hanging out,
watching Monday night concerts at the Pavilion(which are still
going on) and getting ice cream across the street. This park is
probably one of the most popular places in Lowell for people to go
for walks, rollerblading, biking or just enjoying the view of the
river from one of the benches.
The cache is a nano hidden in a very easy spot. It was always a
favorite spot to take part in one of the above activities. The
muggle factor is VERY high in this area, but the cache should be
easy enough to get without drawing suspicion.
