What an amazing view to have lunch here at crawford notch state park! There are some picnic tables to sit on to enjoy every bite of our pizza from the willey house!
Quite possibly one of my favorite places of all. It's incredibly beautiful and a little overwhelming to take in. If you're driving through in either direction, you will find it very difficult to see everything while trying to pay attention to the road. There are pull offs for many of the major sites/trails/features. However, there are some areas that are by the roadside with no real area to park and see. I'd recommend getting well acquainted with the area on a map and planning what areas you want to stop at before driving through, which might make the drive more pleasant. There are restrooms at certain wayside areas.
I love the trail to Arethusa Falls!
It's steep for a bit, but manageable. Getting into the clearing is breathtaking - the waterfall is GORGEOUS. Definitely recommend checking this spot out.
Crawford Notch State Park in New Hampshire is an awesome place to camp. My spot was right along a fast flowing river and the sounds were incredible. This area is very scenic and fall colors were out when I visited. Definitely recommend this area for camping and sightseeing nature.
