Located in Haverhill Massachusetts is Winnekenni Castle and Park. I am not familiar with many hikes in Massachusetts so I was thankful for my 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Boston book. This is a multi use park with trails for walking, hiking, biking, a pond, tennis courts and a playground. There was also tennis courts, but I am not sure if they are for public use as there was some school teams playing. Our goal was to hike up to the castle. We parked along side of the road near the tennis courts and walked the road until we got to the trail. We did notice additional parking near the trailhead.
We followed the dirt path until we saw the sign for the Castle Trail.
The trail meandered around the side of a hill and was pretty easy to follow.
It was only about a half mile up to the castle, which is beautiful. They hold various events and weddings at the castle. There is a road up to the castle, but we enjoyed walking up to it.
We did not explore the other trails, but saw lots of people walking. The trail around the pond looked pretty to explore.
If you are in the Haverhill area this is a beautiful place to visit the castle and get a little hike in.
