BRADBURY MOUNTAIN STATE PARK
Bradbury Mountain State Park is a wonderful place to spend a day or afternoon exploring trails, taking in the magnificent view from the summit, or enjoying a picnic under a canopy of trees. One of the original five state parks, Bradbury Mountain was acquired by the Federal government in 1939.
Situated on Route 9 about halfway between Portland and Lewiston-Auburn, the park attracts visitors who enjoy picnicking, hiking and camping on its 590 acres of forested land. Bradbury Mountain is the only state park in southern Maine to offer shared-use trails for horseback riders, mountain bikers and snowmobilers. Snow shoe rentals are available.
Sculpted by a glacier, Bradbury Mountain is the park's most outstanding natural feature. Today the park's forest is home to a wide variety of plants and animals. Fall is a busy time at the park when visitors watch migrating hawks and eagles ride the thermals and enjoy the views of fall foliage from the summit.

Sadly I only was to this park approximately 35 years ago,when I had a young family and we always camped. Followed a sign because that was my maiden name. Love reading all the good reviews. I now do not camp but love that I have a namesake Park. Yeah Bradbury.. Hope it is for years to come a great place. Would love for my grandchildren to see this park. Probably not as I live in N.J. and to far to travel. Thank you. Carol
Enjoyed a fantastic hike and picnic on July 30, 2010. Plan on visiting every year!
