Compact riverside park along the Merrimack with restored mill façades, canal locks, boathouse and visitor center — great for industrial-era architecture, water reflections and intimate landscape scenes. Best at golden hour for warm light on brick and calm reflections; weekday mornings quieter. Street parking at 1 Jackson St; park free but closes at sundown. Expect mixed urban surroundings and occasional crowds; observe safety and local rules.
