Very nice, flat open stroll. Woods opening up to the North River. Peaceful except for some nearby construction. Some roots underfoot in spots, but hey, its a walk in the woods.
Awesome hiking spot with access to salt water. Great for kids who like finding crabs, theres tons and easy to catch.
A beautiful place to walk.
Great place to walk and talk!
Nice place to go for a walk. Don’t go there though if you are afraid of dogs
Great place to walk the dog! The trails are well maintained but get a little narrow at parts, so be caution to people whose dogs arent dog friendly (also please use a leash for heavens sake). Beautiful views of the river and seems a good place for biking as well. There is a little viewing cabin halfway around the trail which has seating.
Nice walk
Great Park
Nice reservation with cross connecting woods trails.
Wife and i walked walked in around 9:21 am 9-21- 19 i have walked by my several times and been doing it for many many years great place to go for a nice walk and see all what God has to offer with nature i will 100% return many times and will recommend this place
Located in Little Italy (San Francisco), this hidden gem is truly a destination to travel and wait in line for! Early lunch is your best bet to get an opportunity to taste their outstanding selection of Asian fusion cuisine. Check their daily specials for select items, such as the bigeye ahi poke: small cuts of sashimi grade ahi, limu (seaweed), red onions, avocado, and puffed rice. Outstanding!
So relaxing
Fun place to go and walk with pets, friends, and family. It is small but still feels long enough that it is not repetitive.
Peaceful and quiet
Great trails for hiking with dogs.
Fun place to hike and get some good exercise
Beautiful scenery.
Great place to take kids, dogs on leash, or just go for a run! Well-kept main trails are easy to walk on but not suitable for strollers. The boat house is a close hike that is even ok for toddlers and a good place to stop for a snack and enjoy the water view.
Perfect if youre looking for an easier hike, but still want beautiful views. Dog friendly with mutt mitts provided. There is even fishing available close to the trail head. The only downside is a relatively small parking lot, but it is free and there is even a handicap spot for those who need it.
Wonderful place for an easy 2 mile hike through a forest and along the river. My dog loves it.
This place is beautiful and a great walk for both adults and kids. I love how many loops there are so you can make your walk longer or shorter. Also very dog friendly with mutt mitts provided. The trustees are great with the upkeep as well
Beware not everyone follows the rules
This is one of the best parks on the South Shore. It has a loop trail that affords beautiful views of the North River, including a boat house right on the river.There is also a boardwalk loop that goes through a bog area thats a very peaceful spot. If youre in Norwell, Id highly recommend exploring this park.
Beautiful trails along the north river! Great place for a walk.

Hidden gem!
Back in the early 50s, the Norris land was a privately-owned, barely-used large woodsie plot between Dover street and the North River. One of the few regular hikers was Mr. Coffin, owner of a Norwell Center variety store. Billy Small and I p[ayed Norwell Detectives most of the 51 summer, often tailing Mr. Coffin along the Norris pathway. But we almost always got distracted and never did find where his walks ended. Late that summer we went up the hill above the river to the then still-extant but-grungy cabin. There we played and started tearing up the very wide and very long floorboards. Fall came, and school distracted us from the Norris land. But by the early 1952 summer, we were again falling off the North River bridge and looking for fun and excitement on the banks. I remembered the Norris cabin with its wide floor boards; a small gang (maybe six) swimmers walked the muddy riverbank past the Gemelli boathouse and on to the tiny track up the Norris land hill. The cabin was still there, its floor boards still inside. We looked around and wondered what we could abscond with - North River Pirates was just an idea at that point. The boards fascinated a couple of us, who saw three or four lashed together to produce a raft that would be wicked terrif on the ebb tide, through the rapids just around the bend down east. There were enough of us present to lift the first board, about 13 or 14 feet of pine; we managed to navigate down the curvy path to the riverbank. There we set it down and went back for number two. That we also managed to reach the riverbank with. It was late by then and we decided to back on the morrow for number 3. Enroute back to the bridge and our bikes, we debated fiercely the best ties to fasten together a raft. Jackie R and David V led he side for the half-inch line, which David said his fathers boat had lots on board.We agreed, and met the next day around noon to catch the third board down to the riverbank. It was low tide and we had to lift and lug the long wood pieces to the waters edge, where we could see the tide running inbound. David had brought maybe 4 or 5 lengths of the half inch rope, maybe 35 or 40 feet in all. The first board was tied at the waters end, the rope then looped around number 2 board and finally looped and tied around number three. Jackie had a hammer and some tacks and nailed the rope down to give each of the foot-wide boards stability. That used up two of Davids five rope lengths, so we used two more the same way on the landward end of the boards.There was enough rope left from the fourth fastening to link a tie to the last rope length. And believe it or not, that reached all the way around the six feet of the middle with no tightening knots; Jackie did, however, nail the rope to the boards. Our raft was ready for launching. Being so young, we had no champagne, but Jean, a French-Canadian lumberjacks son and sometimes our friend, had found a bottle along the riverbank; hed picked it up to collect its 2 cent return. But then he saw the joy of real launching by smashing a bottle of river water over the end we called the bow. The tide was nearly up as the afternoon latened, so we decided to do a launch and our version of a sea trial. The river would go still before switching to the ebb, but we were pretty sure it would still be light enough to try the rapids.It was an hour and a half later when the ebb began to run. The flood over the riverbank had floated the raft so with a bit of rapid and heavy work we managed to float the Mr. Norris as we named our hefty craft. Unsure if she was seaworthy, only two of the guys boarded, sticks for use as paddles in hand. The rest of us waded through the departing flood, then trudged through the heavy mud and sharply cutting grass. Creeks cut through the bank were not wide enough to make us head into the woods along the bank, so we mostly kept up with Jackie and his friend, Joe Clark. Soon we arrived at the rapids, envying Jackie and Joe their swift ride along the barely white water.
Lot of great hiking trail
Is theres really snakes up there??
Morning stop
The spirit in the air
