Ravenswood Park
Year-round, daily, sunrise to sunset. Allow a minimum of 2 hours.
Long treasured by residents of Gloucester and neighboring towns, Ravenswood Park offers a tranquil wooded setting for walking, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing along almost ten miles of trails and carriage paths. Visitors may enjoy the overlook to Gloucester Harbor and traverse a boardwalk through the Great Magnolia Swamp, home to native sweet bay magnolias (Magnolia virginiana). A plaque marks the spot in the woods where naturalist Mason "The Hermit" Walton built his cabin in the 1880s.
