Cascadilla Meadows

Description At Cascadilla Meadows, Cascadilla Creek is, for the most part, confined to a narrow, rather straight, sluice-like channel that was blasted into the bedrock when the Wilson Synchrotron was built.

Now on the floodplain and gravelly hillsides, only small patches of native vegetation remain. Read More... On Cascadilla Meadow Vegetation and Geology
