Briefly about the general area: A trip to Holbrook Island Sanctuary State Park revitalizes the soul; the wonderful people of Harborside
like to hang out close by. If you want to hit the beach, Redman Beach is in the vicinity, and a tour to Tom Cod Cove is always a glorious idea. This river has so much to offer. If you're here at Goose Falls, checking out
Dice Head is a must; obviously, everyone loves Fort Point State Park. Goose Falls is a beautiful place to take a look at while you're at Goose Falls.
