Milan Hill State Park, State park in Coös County, United States
Milan Hill State Park is a 102-acre natural area in New Hampshire's Coös County sitting at about 1,729 feet in elevation. The park contains forest trails, four yurts for overnight stays, and nine miles of cross-country ski routes maintained by a local club.
The site started as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp in the early 1930s, when construction crews shaped the land. A fire tower was built during this period and remains part of the park's character.
Early settlers made their home on this hilltop starting in the 1800s, and their presence shaped how the land is used today. Visitors can feel this historical connection woven into the landscape as they explore.
The park is open year-round with activities that change by season. Winter brings cross-country skiers to the maintained routes, while warmer months are better for hiking and overnight camping in the yurts or campsites.
The hilltop sits directly in the path of the 2024 total solar eclipse. Those visiting from this location could observe about half a minute of complete solar darkness.
