Maudsley State Park is along the Merrimack River.  I am hopeful that the timing will let us enjoy the azaleas, Rhododendrons and possibly some Mountain Laurels in bloom.  This will be a 3-4 mile walk (level 2).  Well defined gravel and woodchip covered trails with some roots and rocks.  Relatively flat with a few inclines.  This area is mostly tree covered with a lovely field at the end.  

Hiking shoes and possibly poles for those that need them. 

Bring a water bottle and bug spray.

There are restrooms on site, however when I was there recently they weren’t open.

This is a Mass State Park so bring your parking pass if you have one.  Otherwise there is a fee of $5 for Mass residents and $20 for non-Mass license plates.

Leashed well behaved dogs are welcome in the Park.

There will be an opportunity for lunch In Newburyport after.

Heavy rain cancels.

RAIN DATE  June 5.
