Distance: Varies, but we did 2 miles
Difficulty: Easy
Moore State Park located in Paxton, Massachusetts is a beautiful state park with hiking, history, picnicking and water features. There are several trails within this park and we explored two miles of them. There is a trail map on the state parks website. The main reason I wanted to visit was to explore the various waterfalls.
From the parking lot we walked down the Saw Mill Road, a tarred road to Enchanta Bridge, Eames Pond and a waterfall.
From the Enchanta Bridge we hiked the Stairway Loop Trail along a series of exposed ledges.
Within the Stairway Loop Trail is Judy’s Secret Garden Loop, giving you more of a view of Eames Pond before looping back to the Enchanta Bridge.
We continued down Sawmill Road to the Azalea Path where we enjoyed views of an old grist mill and waterfalls.
From here we looped back to the parking lot via the Blackhill Road Trail. Our total hike was an easy two miles. I really enjoyed Moore State Park and the various waterfalls and the ledges throughout this trails. There were other trails we did not hike, but we would absolutely return.
