Crawford Notch State Park

Crawford Notch State Park is a forested area with steep rock faces and multiple waterfalls situated within the White Mountains. The landscape consists of wooded slopes, narrow valleys, and natural passages between the peaks.

The area was established as a protected park to preserve this mountain landscape. A tragic event in the 19th century at a nearby site demonstrated nature's raw power and forever changed how people understood the region.

The passage through the notch has served as a natural route for people over centuries, from early inhabitants to modern hikers using this corridor. The landscape carries this history of movement and transit through the mountains.

Visitors will find a campground with several sites and basic facilities that operates during warmer months. Multiple trails cross the property and provide access to waterfalls and viewpoints.

One trail leads to a viewpoint where hikers can look directly into the heart of the notch, overlooking dramatic rock walls and deep valleys. This vantage point offers a perspective on the landscape's shape that few other locations in the region provide.
