Fall River Heritage State Park

August 4, 2019 Sunny

This state park consists mainly of an antique carousel, visitor center, and boardwalk along the river. It sits under the Braga Bridge that carries traffic along I-195.

The day we visited, the carousel and visitor center were both closed, so we just took a walk to enjoy the views of Battleship Cove, the largest collection of World War II era naval ships in the world.

Continuing past the bend around the visitor center, the boardwalk extends toward a marina and a waterfront restaurant, visible in the photo below. In the middle distance is a small, shaded area with some picnic tables.

Apparently the sunset views are quite lovely here. But if you come, be sure to check the hours for the visitor center and carousel. And do try to visit Battleship Cove if you have the time.

  • Short boardwalk with good views of World War II battleships and a small marina.
  • The boardwalk was nicely done.
  • The visitor center was closed but the battleship was cool.
  • I like the battleship. The cove was beautiful.
