The area has a long and rich history. Crawford Notch was first discovered by a European in the 1700s – a hunter who was tracking a moose over Cherry Mountain found the pass. A road was built in 1775 and 100 years later, a railroad.

Thanks to the terrain, the White Mountains remain a wild place. The state purchased the first land for the park in 1913. The park covers nearly 6,000 acres so there’s a lot to explore.
