Day Pond State Park, Recreational state park in Colchester, US.
Day Pond State Park extends across 180 acres of natural landscape with a 7-acre pond surrounded by woodland trails and stone foundations.
The park grounds contain remnants of the Day family sawmill operation, which used the pond for waterpower before becoming a state park in 1949.
Local community members and visitors gather at the park throughout the year for fishing, swimming, mountain biking, and outdoor educational programs.
The park connects to Salmon River State Forest through five miles of trails, offering extended hiking possibilities and multiple recreational options.
Day Pond Brook Falls cascades down 40 feet through multiple drops, creating a natural water feature accessible via a dedicated trail.
