Tucked away in Bedford, Viaduct Park is among the lesser trafficked of all the area parks - but that doesn't mean it's not worth visiting.
Rich history and breathtaking views converge, offering plenty to appreciate about this amazing place.

The power of the Great Falls of Tinker's Creek was harnessed between 1821-1913 for use in a sawmill, grist mill, and electric power plant. Today, lush greenery abounds all throughout the park, and you can admire it by traversing a series of walking paths.
You'll see the ruins of the old mills, plus a viaduct that used to carry trains.
