New Hampshire’s state park system protects a wide range of natural landscapes, historic landmarks, and recreational areas across the Granite State. Managed by the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation, the system includes dozens of state parks, historic sites, rail trails, beaches, and natural areas. Many parks are located within the scenic White Mountains, including Franconia Notch State Park, which features dramatic mountain passes, waterfalls, and access to popular hiking trails. Along the state’s short Atlantic coastline, parks such as Hampton Beach State Park and Wallis Sands State Park provide sandy beaches and oceanfront recreation. Other parks preserve iconic natural landmarks like Mount Monadnock and Mount Washington, both well-known destinations for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Together, New Hampshire’s state parks offer opportunities for camping, hiking, swimming, wildlife viewing, and exploring the state’s rich cultural and natural heritage.
