Salisbury Beach State Reservation
is one of the states most popular sea-
side parks. Located on the sandy bar-
rier beach where the Merrimack River
meets the Atlantic Ocean, the 521-acre
park offers swimming, fishing, camp-
ing, access to a safe and easy-to-use boat
ramp, picnic areas and a covered water-
front pavilion that can accommodate 100
people.
The park is ideally suited for beach-
goers. Large, paved parking lots and
boardwalks give visitors easy access
to the beach. Each parking area has a
comfort station with bathrooms, chang-
ing areas and outdoor showers. Ocean
water temperatures generally warm up
to comfortable levels by mid-June or
early July and can stay relatively warm
into the fall. Lifeguards are on duty dur-
ing summer months.
The state-owned beach extends for
3.8 miles, from the Seabrook town line
on the open ocean to the sands along
the north bank of the Merrimack River.
Beachgoers can walk the entire length
if they like. Along the way, they can fnd
tidal pools at low tide, seashells and even
the remains of a shipwreck near Salis-
bury Beach Center.
Fishing is a major attraction at the
beach. Striped bass can be caught from
the shore in season generally May and
June, then late August through October.
Bluefsh can also be caught when they
chase baitfsh near the shore during the
summer months.
The reservation includes 484 camp-
ground sites, all near the Merrimack
River and within easy walking dis-
tance of the beach. There are 324
electrical hookups, and all sites have
water hookups, picnic tables and
fireplaces. A dumping station is also
available.
The park is open all year. In fall and
winter, harbor seals often sun them-
selves on rocks offshore.

SALISBURY Early in September in
1638, a group of 12 men received permis-
sion to begin a plantation on the north-
ern bank of the Merrimack
River, near the spot where
it spills out into the Atlantic
Ocean. Only two years later,
that community, frst known
as Colchester, would be incor-
porated as Salisbury.
Large in size, initially the
towns borders encompassed
what are now the communi-
ties of Salisbury, Amesbury
and Merrimac, as well as the
New Hampshire towns of
Seabrook, South Hampton,
Ne wt o n, Ha mp s t e a d ,
Plaistow and Kingston, until Salisburys
new town line was drawn up in the late
1800s.
With good land for farming, valu-
able salt marsh for fishing, hunting
and haying, as well as the beauty and
commerce of its ocean and river access
and location on the early travel routes
between Boston and Ports-
mouth, Salisbury was posi-
tioned to prosper. And it did,
through a number of incarna-
tions over the centuries.
Salisbury will celebrate its
375th anniversary on Satur-
day, Sept. 21, on Salisbury
Green, where the settlement
was originally centered.
The date corresponds with
Essex National Heritage
Commissions Sails & Trails
weekends, and it will feature
many historical aspects of
Salisbury, such as tours of the Salisbury
Historical Societys Parsons House
Museum, right across the street from
Salisbury Green, and a slide show on
the history of Salisbury Beach.

Did you know that Salisbury has the
most extensive network of biking/pedes-
trian rail trails in the region?
Salisburys recreational, walking and
biking and rail trails provide 3.4 miles of
trails in the regions Coastal Rail Trail
network, nestled along the former rail-
road beds that crisscross the town.
There are two main rail trails:
Old eaStern marSh trail
This 1.4-mile paved trail runs from
the Merrimack River to Mudnock Road
through Salisburys Great Marsh. It fol-
lows the bed of a Boston and Maine rail-
way that was abandoned years ago.
The trail features scenic views of
the salt marshes and the Town Creek,
which meanders along the edge of
sections of the trail. It is a straight
and flat path, perfect for bikers of all
ages, walkers and strollers. Near the
Merrimack River, there is a connec-
tor that takes you safely across the
Merrimack River to the Clipper City
Rail Trail in Newburyport.
Parking is available off Friedenfels
Streetnear the Merrimack River and
along Mudnock Road.
SaliSbury POint GhOSt trail
Named after the white, muslin-
covered locally made coach and car
bodies, the ghost trains now give
their name to the 2-mile trail running
behind Lions Ball Field off Route 1,
behind the Salisbury Fire Station. The
trail leads to the Amesbury line. It is
a straight and flat trail, built on a dirt
bed.
Parking is available off Elm Street,
Rabbit Road and Lions Ball Field.
Rail trails are regions longest
