Getting there
From VT 11 in downtown Springfield, cross the Park Street bridge over the Black River and use the public parking area just past the bridge on the left, with an additional lot about 200 feet up Park Street next to the brick building. Walk back to the bridge for views of the dam cascades, or continue to Comtu Cascade Park at 5-11 Main Street for riverfront terraces and seating.
