Vaughan Woods State Park, State park in South Berwick, United States.
Vaughan Woods State Park is a forested area in South Berwick with old trees, river views, and multiple hiking routes. The terrain includes steep slopes, benches at overlooks, and trails that wind through the woods and along the Salmon Falls River.
Elizabeth Vaughan gave her forest lands to Maine in 1949, creating a protected nature area for the future. This gift made it possible for many people since then to explore and enjoy these woods.
Visitors walk through the park to see Maine's forests up close and learn about native plants and wildlife in their natural habitat. Local families treat it as a place to experience the woods as they exist today, without walls or barriers.
The trails are suitable for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, with rest benches placed at scenic points. Wear sturdy shoes and come prepared for the season, as some slopes are steep and terrain can shift with weather.
Rabbits, foxes, porcupines, and occasionally moose move through the park's landscape of steep slopes and riverside terrain. These animals have adapted to use the mix of forest density and open water access that exists here.
