If you live in New Hampshire, you’ve probably been to at least a few Granite State parks, perhaps in the south or in the White Mountains. If you’re looking for a park a bit off the beaten path, though, head up near the Canadian border for a really remarkable (and much less crowded) outdoor experience.
Way up north, you'll find Dixville State Park in Dixville, the township that contains the village of Dixville Notch.
Dixville Notch is well known for having the very first presidential primary in the nation, when the village's twelve residents vote at midnight, and is also known for being the home of the Balsams Resort.
It's a stunningly gorgeous area, but what the political pundits and newscasters rarely mention is the incredible beauty of its state park.
The park spans 127 acres and is home to some incredible geological features and gorgeous hiking trails.
It's perhaps best known for Table Rock, a dramatic formation that will give you the most incredible view - if you're not afraid of heights. If you are, you might want to keep back on this trail!
You'll also find the beautiful and peaceful Dixville Flume waterfall.
Dixville Notch might feel out of the way, but you will be amply rewarded for a visit to this state park.
Have you been to Dixville Notch State Park? If not, have you added it to your New Hampshire bucket list?
