Northwood Meadows State Park is a 675-acre (273 ha) state park in the town of Northwood, New Hampshire. Activities included nature walks, hiking, picnicking, fishing, non-motorized boating, biking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing.[1][2] The wooded park has a vast wetlands area includes a pond created by a dammed brook.

There is a universally-accessible graveled trail up to the pond, known as Burtt Wildlife Pond, after M. Edward Burtt, who built the boulder-fringed roads and dam. The state purchased the land in 1990, which abuts the Forest Peters Wildlife Management Area.[3]
