Welcome Bradbury Mountain State Park welcomes you. Located on Route 9 about halfway between Portland and Lewiston-Auburn, the park attracts visitors who enjoy picnicking, hiking, and camping on its 440 acres of forested land. The Nature of the Park Bradbury Mountain has a great diversity of plant life with many species of trees, shrubs, flowers, ferns, and mushrooms. This forest provides brilliant fall color and important wildlife habitat. From small mammals under the leaf litter to big moose in the boggy areas, a wide variety of wildlife makes its home in the park.
Visitors often see squirrels and songbirds and, sometimes, shy foxes, deer, and wild turkeys.
At night, raccoons and skunks scurry through the park, and campers frequently hear the haunting sounds of the great horned owl. Probably our most famous animals are the soaring hawks and eagles that ride thermal over the mountain during spring and fall migrations. A glacier sculpted this mountain. Advancing ice plucked chunks of rock from the southeast side of the mountain, leaving a steep slope. Melting ice left boulders, gravel, and clay al l over the landscape.
