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 800+ 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.

When trails are open, please ride through any mud and not around it. This will help to preserve the soils and environment to the sides of the trails.
Even limited use of closed trails causes further damage to your trails. Please pass the word. Also, please note that the only authorized access to the trails is through the main gate at Bradbury Mountain State Park. Parking along Route #9 or in the church parking lot to avoid paying the entrance fee is legally considered a theft of services. The park closes at sunset daily.
NOTE: The Department of Conservation (Bradbury Mountain) is working to provide planning and direction for our entire trail system. This includes the current development of a trail from the park boundary, across Tryon Mountain, across the CMP corridor to Pineland. We will be working on the Bradbury to Tryon section of trail this season. Thank you for your patience during this time, and please contact the park if you have any questions.
