    Great Falls of Tinker's Creek

    Parks | Visit | Parks | Bedford Reservation | Great Falls of Tinker's Creek

    Great Falls of Tinkers Creek shows the natural beauty and historic relevance to the development of Bedford.

    The power of flowing water was harnessed at this historic center of industry. Evidence remains of a saw mill, grist mill and an electric power plant, as well as a viaduct that carried trains over Tinker’s creek. The Great Falls of Tinker’s Creek provides a stunning visual experience. Walking paths, overlooks and wayside panels help connect to the past and highlight the natural surroundings.
