Merrill Park

Location

Turn onto Maple Ave. from Central St. and follow to the end where the road heads into the park. Parking is at the entrance, and there is enough for a few cars.

History

The park is in a pretty secluded area which was purchased and developed with a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. It hosts a few picnic benches and contains a path which leads down to the side of the Merrimack River. Although cars are not allowed into the park, a canoe or kayak could be carried down the path to the river.

Recreational Activities

Bird watching, kayaking, canoeing, photography and picnicking.
