This park is great to try with a family...(no stroller though too many roots) once you get to the Jewitt house its beautiful place to walk around and photograph with kids. I would def recommend it if you are trying to find something to do for a few hours.
My wife and I came here at the recommendation of the innkeeper where we stayed. The hiking was somewhat reminiscent of Big Basin in California which was great. Lots of small trails to hike, the terrain ranging for easy to moderate. The views overlooking the water were spectacular and the overall feel of the park was incredibly peaceful. Saw several other hikers out there and everyone was very friendly,
The trails give you a number of options: head up to the Hamilton House for a stroll in the gardens, enjoy the grounds.The full loop trail starts along the river, circles back through the woods. If you want a shorter walk, several trails cut across one side of loop to other. Great place to bring your dog
Nice parcel of land along the Salmon Falls River. Easy to spot wildlife. Nice overlook of the Hamilton House.
Vaughan Woods is a great place to take a short or long hike through the woods. The hike overlooks the Salmon Falls River, with excellent views of the water way, as well as historical sights such as the Hamilton House. If you want a relatively easy, but enjoyable hike through the woods, come here.
Off the beaten path, but worth it. Easy walk along the water and through the woods. Just watch out for the tree roots. If you want more of a workout, take a few of the intersecting trails. I find it easier to take the River Run path and come back on the Bridle path.
Gorgeous site with lots of trails through the woods and along the Salmon Falls River. Dogs on a leash welcome. You can also walk onto the grounds of the Hamilton House, a beautiful mansion and perennial gardens that is run by Historic New England.
Easy paths to follow strolling through woods near the river. Restful, relaxing, and nice to hear the wind through the trees.
I love coming here with my family to do a couple hours of walking. The trails are great but do have a lot of roots that can be harder for younger children to navigate. They have picnic tables and a small calisthenics area that my kids like to play on.
Given the time of year, the trails were covered with lots of ice, so walking was difficult at times. However, it was still beautiful walking through pine trees. There was also a historic site (the Hamilton house?) which was cool.
