Winslow State Park is a state park in Wilmot, New Hampshire, located on the northwest slope of Mount Kearsarge. Kearsarge Mountain State Forest surrounds the summit.
The park features a picnic area on an 1,820-foot (550 m) plateau with views of the White Mountains to the north. A 1-mile (1.6 km) foot trail (the Winslow Trail) leads from the picnic area to the summit of Mount Kearsarge. A 1.8-mile (2.9 km) trail (the Barlow Trail) offers a loop possibility.[1]
The Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway is a 75-mile (121 km) loop hiking trail that links four New Hampshire state parks: Mount Sunapee, Wadleigh, Rollins and Winslow.[2] The trail also links three New Hampshire state forests: Gile State Forest, Kearsarge State Forest and Shadow Hill State Forest, as well as one state wildlife management area: Bog Mountain.
