I live nearby this State Park and I never get tired of visiting it.

First off, I sometimes drive to Fundy Boat Launch (at the north end of the park) to go kayaking for 1-3 hours on the lake. No fees are charged here.

I also do training and evening hikes from Round Pond Road (also at the north end of the park). The 3 main peaks within Pawtuckaway are all just under 1,000 feet in elevation with some elevation gains that are only larger on Monadnock or in the Whites. This makes certain trips quite fun.

The North Pawtuckaway Mountain trail is very much like a White Mountain trail and can be done in a 6-mile loop. There are some decent views on the ridge to the north and south. You can also add Middle Pawtuckaway Mtn. (no views) and/or South Pawtuckaway Mtn. (which has a nice fire tower and views) for some loop hikes up to 11 miles.

Since the mountains ranges here are arranged in a circle (because they are part of an ancient volcano that was originally 15,000 feet high - called a ring dyke) you can get confused hiking in this area without a map. So bring one. Cell reception is fine here too.
