Beautiful ride with rolling hills.

Lorraine Park Campground is the campground in Harold Parker State Park. The campground has tent camping spots, restrooms, and potable water. It is advisable to make a reservation in advance.

One of its most famous features is a "swing span" that can actually open up to let tall boats pass through. What's even cooler is that this swing span is still operated by hand! It's one of the oldest movable bridges in Massachusetts that still works this way.

Good technical single track trails. Bring a GPS of some sort with you.

​Middleton Pond spans 35 acres and serves as the town's municipal water supply. It is fed by several streams and drains into the Ipswich River. Swimming is not permitted because the water ends up as drinking water.

Ponds, swamps, rolling hills, and rocky outcroppings can be found in this state forest, which features more than 35 miles of roads and trails as well as remnants of 18th-century farming and milling operations.

Chain Bridge is the first bridge built over the Merrimack River, connecting Deer Island, a small island located in the middle of the river. The bridge has been open to travel since 1792, was rebuilt as a suspension bridge in 1810, and has been maintained as a toll bridge since 1828.

Pleasant Valley Road runs alongside the Merrimack River, providing views of the river, its surrounding wetlands, and green spaces. From this vantage point, you can also see Maudslay State Park on the opposite side of the river.
