Follow A Sandy Path To The Waterfront When You Visit Odiorne Point In New Hampshire
When it comes to exploration and adventure, there’s plenty to do and see right here in New Hampshire. Which is a good thing considering we’ve all been spending a whole lot more time locally these days. If you’re anything like us it might be starting to feel like you’ve seen and enjoyed every corner of the state at this point. But, anything can feel new if you look at it just a bit differently. This little hike is a great example. Even if you’ve already visited, consider heading back for another look. The little path is lovely and when you reach the beach you’ll be rewarded with some of the nicest views in the area.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing.

We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

To access this beautiful hike you'll need to head to Rye for a visit to Odiorne Point State Park. It's a beauty throughout the year, which means you can visit often for a totally different experience each time.
While there aren't a lot of markings here, it's pretty much impossible to get lost. Simply follow the path around the loop until you return to the trailhead near the parking lot.
Due to its location near the water, you can expect relatively flat terrain which is great for little legs. Some people have even been able to maneuver strollers here.
Odiorne Point State Park is open daily. You can learn more about it on the New Hampshire State Parks website. And you can check out the trail and a map by visiting alltrails.com. You may see some dogs here, but they’re not officially allowed. And, while COVID-19 continues the parking lots will be closed which means you’ll need to walk into the park.
