Coleman State Park and Campground
Coleman State Park lies on the shore of Little Diamond Pond in
Stewartstown, twelve miles east of Colebrook in New Hampshire's
remote north country. The excellent trout fishing in Little
Diamond Pond and nearby streams makes Coleman an excellent
location for fishing enthusiasts. A boat launch is located
within the park; small boats are permitted, but speed is
restricted. It is also a good base for fall hunting. Other
activities offered at the park include hiking, canoeing,
snowmobiling, and cross country skiing. The park is the northern
terminus of the Androscoggin Trail, a hiking path that extends
55 miles south to Berlin. For information call: (603)538-6965

for both novice and expert paddlers. The area is a favorite of

Odiorne Point State Park
Odiorne Point is the largest undeveloped stretch of shore on New
Hampshire's eighteen mile coast. Located three miles south of
Portsmouth on Route 1A in Rye, Odiorne offers an extensive array
of habitats. On the south end of the park, sheltered tidepools
of the Sunken Forest give way to an exposed rocky shore. Just
north, the shore evolves into a pebble beach which shelters a
fresh water marsh. Along the way to Frost Point where a jetty
extends into Little Harbor, lies a small sand dune environment.
At the end of Little Harbor, Seavey Creek feeds the neighboring
salt marsh. Extensive inland disturbances during World War II
induced the growth of dense forests in various stages of
succession. Large stone walls bound open fields. Fresh water
systems are represented within the park by a man-made pond and
marsh. Remnants of formal gardens and wildflowers grow side by
side; and the man-made military bunkers lie hidden under mounds
of earth. Activities offered: Picnicking, boating, fishing,
hiking, biking, nature walk, cross country skiing. For
