VIDEO: On the Assabet River

For interesting in a lazy afternoon or evening meandering along the Assabet River, head down to the canoe launch area just past the Hillside School.

For those willing to take a short drive outside downtown Marlborough, there is a quiet oasis awaiting waiting for you at the Hillside Wildlife Sanctuary & River Access. 

There is a large parking lot and easy access to the river for those wishing to launch a boat.

Flora and fauna are abundant in this area, and one is almost guaranteed a quiet and relaxing experience.
