This 721-acre former estate features pine needled paths, acres of sunny rolling meadows and spectacular rhododendrons which line old carriage roads. Peak bloom is usually in mid-June. 

The Bradley Palmer State Park Wading Pool is a large, shallow, pleasant place for little ones to get wet. There are lifeguards, bathrooms, a small climbing structure, and lots of shady lounging areas. 

To avoid fees parking, leave your car at the park entrance. You will be walking or biking almost ONE MILE to the pool. It can be a long hot journey, so bring treats, drinks, and hats. Bicycles work best.

There is no food for sale, but ice cream trucks make helpful visits.
