Tiny little stream bridged several times. One official bridge, the rest were right next to it - logs stacked together by individuals having fun playing in the woods. The same kind of dry logs you make shelters with for fun. |

Very popular spot. There was even a sign in the woods inviting people to join a dog group. Many friendly and well-behaved dogs with considerate owners (no piles, no bags left behind). |

My other daughter takes her daughters here frequently. I had thought she had it confused with Maudsley, but I found out there really is a Moseley Woods. It is bigger than it looks from the road. Bordered by the Merrimack River and Rt 95 in Newburyport. Beautiful woods with many unnamed paths. Beautiful shore, nice views of the water. Diversity of plant life, ranging from small forest floor plants to some very tall and large pines. Easy to practice social distancing here. If it's not too late when you're finished, Maudsley State Park is less than 10 minutes away.
This place has a nice lawn, picnic tables, play area; to be enjoyed sometime in the future. |
