On US 4 in Northwood, New Hampshire, about halfway between Concord and Durham, there’s a quiet state park that had flown under my radar until recently. Northwood Meadows State Park has accessible trails throughout its 600+ acres. The main trail from the parking area is the north end of a 5-mile network of trails leading to Meadow Lake and linking the park with other parcels of public land. Print out a trail map in case the map box in the parking lot is empty: https://www.nhstateparks.org/getmedia/62d97940-2bfd-4862-aa14-82a9bc023805/Northwood-Area-Land-Management-Collaborative-Trail-Map.aspx

This is one of the newer state parks, and its wide & flat main trail was originally developed to be suitable for wheelchair users. The walk from the parking lot to Meadow Lake, this park’s little jewel, takes only about ten or fifteen minutes at an easy pace.
