Pawtuckaway State Park
Pawtuckaway State Park is a 5,000-acre (20 km2) preserve located in Nottingham and Deerfield, New Hampshire. It is one of the largest state parks in southeastern New Hampshire.[1]
The park is named for Pawtuckaway Lake and the Pawtuckaway Mountains. The lake is a 783-acre (317 ha) water body with numerous islands and coves and is a popular boating, fishing, and swimming destination. The mountains are a small, rocky, circular range that form the outline of an ancient volcanic ring dike. Hiking trails lead to the summits of North and South Pawtuckaway mountains and connect the mountain area to the lake. The park is a location for major orienteering meets. Both foot orienteering and canoe orienteering events are held here, on orienteering maps developed by local orienteering enthusiasts.
Amenities at Pawtuckaway include 195 campsites, 15 miles (24 km) of hiking trails,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page). a boat launch, a swimming beach, camp store, ball field, playground, bathhouse, shelters, picnic tables, and canoe and rowboat rentals.[2]
