Maudslay State Park Mini Hike

Maudslay State Park Walk

Maudslay State Park Mini Hike

Maudslay State Park Walk

Details

Plan A:  No snow on the ground.  We'll meet up at Moseley Woods parking lot and start our walk/hike under the new Whittier Bridge (RT 95) along the Merrimac River.  We'll then make out way into Maudslay State Park for a couple of hours of walking in the woods near the river.  There are some small hills, some slippery rocks....you'll need good shoes and some agility.  There is no lunch  planned, but we can stop for a break to enjoy a snack and some views.  If we're lucky, we will see some eagles.

Plan B.  Snow on the ground.  We'll meet up at the Maudslay parking lot instead and hike in the snowy woods.  This parking area charges a fee.

Directions

PLAN A: Moseley Woods:  RT 95; take the Salisbury/Amesbury Rt 110 exit.  Head EAST on rt 110. Turn right onto Merrill Street at the lights (Ford dealer on corner).  Once you cross the String Bridge over the Merrimac River, you will come to the world's smallest roundabout.  Moseley Woods is the first exit on the right.

PLAN B: Maudslay State Park.  Continue straight through the roundabout, and turn right at the top of the hill.  The parking lot will be about 1.5 miles on the left.
