RV rental Winslow State Park, NH: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Although Winslow State Park is a small one, covering only 20 acres, it’s surrounded by several other state parks and state forests. In spite of its size, it has two trails for hikers and outdoorsmen to explore. One, which can be challenging, is a one-mile hike that leads up to the summit of Mt. Kearsarge, a 3,000-foot peak. While that’s not very high when compared with the Rockies Mountains range, the elevation gain in such a short distance is considerably steep. People who succeed at reaching the top are rewarded with a panoramic view of the White Mountains, Vermont to the west, and Maine to the east. The other trail, which meanders around two miles into a valley, links with the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway, a 75-mile trail loop that connects four New Hampshire state parks and state forests. Created in the mid-1990s, the Northern Rail Trail follows the contours of a valley for nearly 60 miles. It connects Lebanon to Boscawen, NH. Most of the trail is paved, which makes it suitable for bicycles and wheelchairs, but a few sections are crushed gravel. The trail is also open to horseback riding. The trail can be a little crowded during the peak season and early fall because it passes through deep woods and meadows, which are quite scenic. Photographers will have a hard time taking a bad photograph.
