State Park Overview |
|
Heavily wooded and sprinkled with several ponds and wetlands, Pillsbury State Park is one of the more primitive and lesser known gems of the New Hampshire State Park system. Its diversity of habitats makes it home to a great variety of wildlife, including moose and loons.
Crossed by a network of hiking and mountain bike trails, the park is an important link in the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway, a 51-mile hiking trail that connects Mount Monadnock with Mount Sunapee to the north.
Canoeing, warm-water fishing, picniking, hiking, and mountain biking are favorite park activities. History buffs enjoy exploring the parks long-abandoned and overgrown cellar holes, remnants of early farm settlement and lumbering of the late 1700s and early 1800s when the area was called Cherry Valley.
Admission is $3 for adults $1 for children ages 6-11 children ages 5 and under and NH residents age 65 and over are admitted free. |
