About

Lawrence Riverfront State Park is a 7-acre state park in Massachusetts, about a mile from the center of Lawrence. It is a small, compact park, and its size makes it an easy stop to fold into a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lawrence show highs around 68°F in May and 74°F in September, with July warming to about 83°F. Several other outdoor spots sit within a few miles. The River Walk is about 2 miles away, and the Merrimack River Trail is a little farther at roughly 2.4 miles. Climbers can head to Den Rock Park, about 2.2 miles off, and mountain bikers can ride the Lowell & Lawrence Railroad, about 2.6 miles away.
