The Magnificent New Hampshire State Park That’s So Worth The Journey

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.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
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.
