Between Bicentennial Park and Fall River Heritage State Park is a 1.3 mile walk that follows the shore of the Taunton River. This walk follows paved paths, concrete walks, and wooden boardwalks. The views include the Braga Bridge to the south and beyond in the distance you can see the Mount Hope Bridge. To the west are the massive cooling towers of the Brayton Point Power Plant. Just under the Braga Bridge you can catch a glimpse of the Borden Flats Lighthouse. The highlight of this walk however, is Battleship Cove, a maritime museum featuring the worlds largest collection of World War II era ships. Among the ships here at the U.S.S. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (850) which is a destroyer and the U.S.S. Massachusetts (59) which is a battleship that saw significant action during World War II.
