The Stillwater Reservoir combines with the Woonasquatucket to create a large body of water just south of the Mowry Conservation Area. There are some hiking trails along the banks, but even just parking the bike here next to the water for a moment gives you a chance to take in the views of the large reservoir.

This is the main trailhead for the start of the Blackstone River Bikeway in Woonsocket. Although the whole Blackstone River Bikeway technically connects Worcester, Massachusetts to Providence, Rhode Island, the Woonsocket to Central Falls section is the only part on a completely dedicated bike path. At the trailhead there is a large parking lot with river views.

You get a great view over Olney Pond from here. You're also right next to Frank Moody State Beach, in case you need a break or want to head down to the sand and get in the water.

As part of the Blackstone River watershed system, both Manchaug Pond and Whitin Reservoir form part of the Blackstone River system. They say that a pond becomes a great pond if it is over 10 acres. At 344 acres, Manchaug Pond is therefore a pretty substantial 'great pond.' The views out over the water here on Manchaug Pond are pretty special, and it is a good cycling road too.
