- Bradbury Mountain State Park
A breathtaking park offering trails and other recreational activities, Bradbury Mountain State Park is a lovely place to get outdoors and steep yourself in nature. The hike up Bradbury Mountain and the view from the top are absolutely gorgeous, and the trees that fill the park are especially beautiful in the fall when the colors begin to change.
This area has an interesting and rich history beginning with the Wabanakis, who camped on the mountain along their route to the east coast. The first Europeans arrived in the area in the early 1800s and used the land for a variety of purposes including grape farming, catching cattle, and mining. Finally, in 1939, the mountain became one of Maine’s first state parks.
Since then, it has grown and visitors still continue to thoroughly enjoy the park year after year.
