We had a most enjoyable day traveling through Parker river and stopping at the watch tower, and other designated ares for viewing the birds. Saw a wild Turkey! it was wonderful on the marsh. It is very different terrain. We went to Sandy Point Beach too which was great fun. If you like beachcombing, it is a good place to go!

The converted barn is tastefully set up for wine tastings and small gathering. They have some nice wine related products, olive oil and cheeses for sale along with wines. There are four tastings or you can customize. Wines vary. The place is still new in wine years so reds are a challenge. Nice staff though. Would be great if they partnered with an established winery from California or something for a few really good wines.
3. Castle Hill on the Crane Estate
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 217 reviews
Experience the grandeur of a seaside estate and its marvelously landscaped grounds, notable for a broad, undulating lawn running down to the shore.
Reviewed By kathyandalan - Averill Park, New York
The same parking fee for Crane Beach allows you in to the Crane Estate. There are tours of the house and lovely grounds and gardens to wander. There are vistas down to the ocean in the distance. And statues and metal sculpted griffons (by the same artist who did the Prometheus in Rockefeller Plaza). There is a trick moving rock on one of the paths. Mr Chase had a sense of humor. For an added fee, the house offers a # of different tours. We took the Guests of the Chase Family tour and enjoyed it! If you have time, spend part of the day at the beach. It is beautiful.

Perhaps going on this cruise with the remnants of a hurricane off the coast was not the best idea, but they were still taking people out. The result was a 2 hour bumpy, windy, cold ride. Putting that aside, this is what it says it is: a river cruise. You'll see some cranes and other birds. The guide will point out where some houses and estates are on islands but you won't see them through the trees. Go for the boat ride. That's what you'll get.

Amazing place to bring young children to see some friendly farm animals and feed them treats.
The farm store has fresh, wholesome produce, meats, baked goods, flowers, pumpkins etc.
The staff is always friendly and helpful, and you can usually get free lettuce or corn husks to feed the animals.
6. Rough Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary
Overall Ratings
4 based on 5 reviews
Reviewed By 2010homerun - Taunton, Massachusetts
We drove down a rough patch of road hoping to see something interesting. You would have to walk into the woods probably to see anything. It was getting dark, so we didn't. There were signs that allow hunting in certain areas, so not recommended for nature walks during hunting season.
7. Crane Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 472 reviews
Enjoy the Northeast's most spectacular beach and follow trails and boardwalks through a landscape of sand dunes and salt marsh.
Reviewed By yogaroom - Round Lake, New York
We arrived at the tail end of hurricane Jose and got to see some good wave action and blustery winds. We visited off high season, which is our preference and so there were no crowds or sweltering heat. Still, it looks like a nice place for a dip even if the crowds are there. Great protection for Piping Plover bird habitat and dune environment. The Fee (varies by season) also gets you into parking for the Crane Estate/Castle. Depending on the weather your could visit here for 1 or several hours.
8. Maudslay State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 131 reviews
Reviewed By chiefwahoo1989 - Manchester, New Hampshire
I took my pup down to this park this morning to check out the views along the Merrimack River. I'd read several reviews about how nice and well kept the trails were, and we weren't disappointed. The trails were in great shape all through the park, and there were some nice views of the river.
My only thing I can ask for is a few more trail signs inside the park. The major trail junctions were pretty well marked, but when we got digging into some of the smaller trails, we got turned around quickly. I couldn't complain too much, as it was a nice morning to be outside. It's a great park that feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of the towns and interstate around it.
9. Old Town Hill
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
Climb to the top of a 168-foot coastal promontory and from an open field enjoy panoramic views of the Great Marsh and New Hampshire's Isles of Shoals.
Reviewed By DT705 - Groveland, Massachusetts
I have lived within a few miles of Old Town Hill for 15 years now, and I just discoved it a few weeks ago. This is an amazing open space, that is great for light hiking. And it is totally free. It is not far from Route 1 and 1A, and has ample free parking. It has nice flat area on one side that abuts the Parker River and the tidal marsh. There are many possible encounters with several types of birds. On the other side of the property is a large hill that has 2 paths leading up to it. One is very steep and challenging, and the other is a gradual, winding path. Once up on top the views are amazing. You look right down into Newburyport and Plum Island. On a clear day you can see way out to the Atlantic and see the NH coast and the Isle of Shoals. This is a fun family place and will keep everyone's interest for an hour or two. Do not be like me and wait 15 years to discover OTH, do it on the next free day you have.
10. Russell Orchards
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 134 reviews
Reviewed By Peter R - Monument Beach, Massachusetts, United States
Tried a new orchard this year for apple picking. Nice variety of apples but picking your own is expensive ($20 for a 10# bag - one peck). Honey crisp were picked out but plenty of Macouns. Apples in the store were $2.50 per lb. Had some fruity wines to taste for $5. I thought they would have lunches available as they said NO OUTSIDE FOOD but really only saw expensive snacks (maple sugar candy, cider donuts, honey, etc).
