Ice Cream – Down River

June 6, 2013 By: Bonniecomment

Local Treat – Down River Ice Cream… and a trail.
Rowley, Massachusetts


Looking for a new ice cream place to sample? Why not head to Down River Ice Cream located on Rt1 South in Rowley, MA.

Our family – dog included – enjoyed a wonderful scoop there this week and were very happy with the experience.

First off we fell in love with the names – many have local meaning, Mill River and Hog Island – but the best was Greenhead!

 For those of you who may have experienced these green biting flies that only seem to exist around here for a stint in the summer this ice cream flavor will give you a good laugh.

Down River even offers an ice cream made with your four legged friend in mind called Rosie’s Treat and is vanilla ice cream and 2 dog biscuits.

Mine was the Mill River – huge pieces of Heath bar throughout – it was so yummy.

 Here is the hidden gem though – hiding behind the ice cream stand is a simple mulched path with this sign:

Of course we had to go check it out!

Up the path a ways and there it was … the staircase to no where – very cool.
This started all sorts of great what ifs and do you think conversations with my crew.

So the next time you are passing through why no stop, grab a bite and sit and relax for a bite – hopefully the greenheads won’t be out!
