Johnny Appleseed State Park
About
Johnny Appleseed State Park is a 188-acre state park in north-central Massachusetts, about 2 miles from Leominster. It is managed by the state park agency. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit. Typical averages from the nearby Fitchburg airport weather station run from highs around 70°F in May to the low 80s in July, with September cooling back to about 74°F. Several other outdoor options sit within a short drive. The Blue Route and Yellow Route hikes are about 3.5 miles away, and so is the Sholan Farms climbing area. The Monoosnoc Ridge Trail is about 4 miles off and adds a longer hike to the mix.
