Yes there is a 1/2 mile walk to the trail and then 1/2 mile walk back to your parked car no biggie…read moredon't let that deter you from doing this hike. Agree there are better views in other parts of NH but this is ok. Bugs are vicious on certain parts of the trail and better off brining a bug net because someone else posted they don't care if you have bug spray I mean I even walked with can, I would still hike it though I prefer paid for parking on the website it's 5.00$ a person and you can use the whole state park for all day It was full of camps for swimming so if your not a fan of a lot of people maybe this lake is not for you Hope everyone enjoys there time there

Our walk/hike on the Shaw & Fundy Trails were perfect because they are well-trodden, pine-needle…read morecarpeted trails that were good for our sister who has a bad knee & can't handle trails with vertical climb, tree roots &/or rocky faces. The trails passed by marshes, over creeks &, at times, we had to navigate through areas that had some minimal flooding. Signage is practically non-existent, with arrows primarily @ intersections & also kind of confusing where the parking lots are for the trailheads. There is very little blazing on the trees but again, the trail directions are obvious. Not too much indication of wildlife, although, of course, we were in the thick of the trees. The folks at the Visitor Center are super friendly, knowledgeable & helpful.

Our favorite beach to picnic inside the car when it's cold. Beautiful scenery and right next to…read morethe Beach Plum which is handy! Lots of photo ops here! The beach is nice and walkable.

Came here with my sisters & had a perfect day (except for the parking ticket). There is lots of…read morevery convenient parking (make sure to correctly calculate how long you will be staying when you pay @ the central meter. Something we did not do; thus, the parking ticket). Beach is rocky@ the waterline so, either wear water shoes or brave the rocks. There was ample room to stretch out, take long walks to the nearby town (or, go across the street for great ice cream & seafood), there are bathrooms, showers, water fountain &, for the most part, it is a clean, inviting beach with adorable former fishing houses along its edge. Will happily return.

What a nice spot for a walk! My friend and I were in the area to check out some sugar shacks and we…read moredecided to stop by this pond. I'd say it's really more of a park, since there are plenty of walking paths, including a nice covered bridge. I don't think I'd come out of my way to return, but it was certainly a nice place to stop by and check out while nearby.

Good area for dog walking. Trails are maintained well. They…read morearen't well marked though so it's easy to get lost - meaning no colored trail blazes. They have many maps of the trail along the paths, but it's hard to know where you truly are because they don't say "you are here" except for at the entrance. I can't speak on the swimming, but it looks fun for kids. There is a playground and a few picnic benches throughout. Plenty of parking and short walk to the water / trails. I'm sure there are better spots to swim, but this place looks like it gets the job done. Dog friendly everywhere except on the beach itself. Dogs must be kept on a leash. Doggie clean up bags are not provided, so be sure to bring your own.
