Where in Clinton? I live in West Boylston and haven’t heard about this and would like to check it out.

I entered the east entrance off of Clamshell Rd in Clinton.

Here's an article about it:

I just happened to be in the area for work. I noticed it from the road, pulled over and hopped down. I was wearing waterproof boots which turned out to be very useful for going in on that side.

I'd recommend people go from the rt. 70 side like you said though. Not sure if the neighborhood appreciates people parking and entering from the east side as much.

It’s cool seeing the old pictures of the bridge and standing up where it started on the hill. Girl friends dad has stories about how they would try to climb the dam or cross the dam on the face of it.

Thanks! I can picture this easily so should be a snap to find. I almost bought a house right there but went for West Boylston instead

As you go down the hill from the dam into clinton it’s about halfway down on the right on the hill
