Colliery Dam Park is a beautiful, forested green space built around two small lakes that were once used for hydroelectric power. Today, it’s a popular spot for walking, swimming, fishing, and off-leash dog play, with well-maintained trails looping around both lakes. The mix of bridges, waterfalls, and big-leaf maples makes it a favorite year-round spot for spending time outdoors in this beautiful urban park.
