Maudslay State Park and other Newburyport, MA Things to Do Tips

This used to be the estate of the Moseley family (along with the Moseley Woods next to it). Now it's been donated to the state. There are a few traces left by which one can tell that it's a former estate, but mostly, it's just a nice park with nice bridges and nice trails, plus some very impressive and well-maintained flowers and ornamental plants. If you prefer just woods with less of a mark of civilization, Maudslay has that, too.

Some days, particularly in the summertime, there are events held at Maudslay, and when you first pull in, you see gigantic crowds and have difficulty parking. Even under such circumstances, if you walk toward the far end of the park, you're likely to quickly find yourself alone.
