Monadnock State Park

Mount Monadnock rises to 3,165 feet within the park boundaries, offering multiple hiking trails that lead through forests and rocky terrain to the summit.

The park received National Natural Landmark status in 1987 for its geological formations and natural features that demonstrate the region's environmental evolution.

Thousands of hikers visit annually to climb Mount Monadnock, making it among the most frequently climbed mountains in North America.

The park requires advance reservations for parking spaces, charges a $15 vehicle fee for day use, and maintains two separate campground areas.

During winter months, the trails become covered in ice, requiring visitors to use specialized equipment like microspikes for safe navigation.
