Can’t always make it to the mountains? Here is a list of some of my favorite local parks in southern New Hampshire. Feel free to comment about a favorite of yours that is not on the list and I will add it on there for others to discover.

 

Northwood Meadows– RIght on route 4 it is an easy to access walk a bout.

 

Pawtuckaway– A classic for camping and boating also has miles of scenic trails.

 

Great Brook Trail– A 2 mile long trail in Deerfield that makes for a short and secluded walk.

 

Bear Brook– Not much elevation to be had but lots of great trails to stroll.

 

Blue Job– A great mountain view to take in without driving for hours to get it.

 

Belknap Range– Perhaps the gem of the mid-state mountains.
