Maudslay State Park

Curzon Mill Rd., Newburyport
978 465-7223

The former Moseley family estate on the Merrimack River, this Maudslay park features 19th century gardens and plantings, rolling meadows, towering pines, and one of the largest naturally-occurring stands of mountain laurel in Massachusetts. Most breathtaking are the ornamental trees and masses of azaleas and rhododendrons that bloom in May and June. An exquisite place for walking, biking, and informal picnics.

Cultural events are a regular feature during the summer. During the winter a portion of the park is off limits due to roosting bald eagles, but the remainder provides excellent cross country skiing and winter walks.

The Parking Fee at Maudslay State Park is $2.00. Annual Passes are available for purchase.
