Greenfield State Park, New Hampshire

Hidden in the southwestern corner of the Granite State, Greenfield State Park will give you a taste of summer vacations of childhoods past. Ghost stories round the campfire? Check. Paddles on a remote lake? Check. Long meandering hikes through forests, bogs, and meadows. Check. Greenfield State Park is big enough to feel lost, but small enough to stay found. In August you’ll find laden blueberry bushes that are taller than you can reach. Add that to fabulous trout you’re sure to snag in Otter Lake, and you’ll be singing this park’s praises for a long time to come.
