Vaughan Woods State Park Details
Vaughan Woods Memorial State Park was originally used by Native Americans as farm and hunting land before being developed into an estate in 1785. Emily Tyson bought the land in 1898 and managed the forested area until it was gifted to the state by her daughter. Today, the grounds are well-kept with over three miles of short hiking trails through the forest and along the Salmon Falls River. Native roots are still to be found here, however, with the appropriate original river name meaning "river with many falls", or Newichawannok. Facilities: Picnic Area, Restrooms, Parking
