What fun! Here’s a the view of an interpretive ranger taking a look at her summer assignment, Pawtuckaway State Park:

Despite its summer crowds, Pawtuckaway is a great place. It’s so big that while the beach and the fire tower might be overrun, there are still plenty of quieter places and trails to explore. Take Exit 5 off NH 101, and follow the signs. I think the entrance fee is $5 per adult, a dollar higher than at most NH parks.

Next time you’re there, see if you can find this U.S. Geological Survey marker on North Mountain. One more thing to add to the Pawtuckaway to-do list …
