Cary Hill Sculpture Park — Attraction in Town of Salem

This is such a cool park. I was the only one there for 2 hours on a Sunday morning in peak foliage season. So it seems this place is relatively unknown. It was such a great place to chill, have a picnic, walk around and view the sculptures. The view is incredible! Parking is at the top of the hill where there is also some hiking trails. Lots of birds as well. Saw a Kestrel hunting as well as other raptors, migrating sparrows...

What a funky place! We entered from the Salem artworks side and walked all the way over then realized there is parking for just the sculpture park. So then we started walking up the hill but then realized that everyone else seemed to be driving up. So it was super awkward and we got really dirty from the dust. seeing the sculptures up close was fun too. The view at the top was all worth it. Overall...

Thought it would be dinky, but had tons of space and lots to see. The director was awesome- he chatted with us and helped out with any questions we had. Cool camping spots and an incredible view! You can walk or drive all the way through....
