    Pine needle floor with views of people on every corner of your picnic table
    Chris C.

    Crying babies, barking dogs, party animals where's the peace in camping. This is our 3rd an last visit to this overpopulated in the middle of nowhere pine needle dumping dirt lot. The camping loops an sites are over stacked on each other so you see other dwellers on every corner of your picnic table. Adding to the rainy summer the place is looking like San Fran street corner

    We went to this park to paddleboard. We put in by the little beach. There is a nice bathhouse and little park store, picnic tables, and a small playground. The first thing we saw as we pushed off shore were two dead birds floating in the water. We weren't sure if this was an omen, but we paddled on. First we paddled to the left side of the lake, away from the bridge and toward the dam. There isn't too far that you can go before it becomes swampy, but it is quiet and a nice little paddle. After that we paddled in the opposite direction under the bridge. There was a cleaning and we followed a little stream for a short way. We had to get out and lift the boards over a log to pass up the stream. Altogether, you can paddle this lake in an hour or two at a leisurely pace. The most fun happened when we were taking the boards out. They under up being covered in leeches. We probably found around 10 on each board of various sizes. That was super gross. I would not swim in this lake, but I may go paddle again.

    Large dog friendly sites!

    The perfect place to get away. The sites are clean and well kept. They offer the perfect sense of privacy without feeling secluded. Dog friendly which was a make or break deal for me

    We took the time to explore the park via MTB. An amazing beautiful park with lots to check out, the 40 miles of trails and 10,000 acres were fun! A great place to ride with lots of different singletrack trails, Doubletrack, fun descents, long climbs and great views! The riding here can accommodate all abilities with many well know trails. Be sure to check out: Hemlock in the northwest corner, a fast, flowy, mostly flat singletrack Chipmunk: singletrack that parallels Podunk Road Alpe D'huez: Both up or down. With a name like that how can you not? Little Bear up, Big Bear down: awesome way to finish up by the parking lot. A couple of nice little launches on the way down.

    Beaver Pond boardwalk

    This is a lovely patch of wildness in Southern New Hampshire made possible by some 10,000 acres of land protected by this state park. That's also about 15 mi.² The camping area is in the middle of the park and amazingly quiet. There are more than 100 primitive campsites. There are clean and fresh bath houses with flush toilets and showers but otherwise there are no sewer, water or electric hook ups for campers. So bring your tent or not too large camper to enjoy the fresh air, three ponds with decent fishing and a myriad of hikes from the easy to the not so easy. Birdwatchers will like the boardwalk through the swampy area at one end of Beaver Pond. The other end has a pleasant beach near the campsites. Pets are allowed. The Friendly crew takes pride in keeping the place clean and answering any questions.

    Beautiful, great parking options, maybe more trash cans on the walking trail? Noticed granola bar wrappers everywhere

    Excellent venue for winter sports. Tricky and technically difficult cross country ski tracks but amazing scenery.
