Moore State Park

Moore State Park is a 737-acre (298 ha) public recreation area located in the town of Paxton, Massachusetts, USA, portions of which were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Moore State Park Historic District in 2004.

Features of the state park include historical building foundations, a restored sawmill, Eames Pond, waterfalls and mill chutes as well as abundant azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurel.

[3] A portion of the land within Moore State Park was once the site of at least five 18th- and 19th-century watermills that were powered by Turkey Hill Brook, which cascades 90 feet over a 400-foot run.

In the early 20th century, the property became a private estate, large portions of which were subsequently included in the state park.

[4] Park recreational opportunities include canoeing, fishing, hunting, hiking, cross-country skiing and picnicking.
