About Mollidgewock State Park

 

Mollidgewock State Park is situated in Errol, New Hampshire, along the banks of the Androscoggin River. The park encompasses forested land with a mix of hardwood and softwood species, creating diverse habitats that support local wildlife such as deer, moose, beavers, and numerous bird species. Established in 1994, the park spans several hundred acres and is well-regarded for its riverside access and peaceful environment. The Androscoggin River flowing through the park is a designated Wild and Scenic River, making it a popular destination for paddlers who enjoy calm water and scenic views. Visitors can fish for native trout species in the river’s clear waters. The park features a campground with both tent and trailer sites, as well as day-use areas ideal for picnicking and wildlife viewing. Several interpretive trails wind through mature forest and along riverbanks, providing opportunities for casual hiking and nature observation. Mollidgewock’s remote location creates a quiet retreat from urban life, and the park is particularly favored during peak fall foliage season when the surrounding forests put on a bright display of colors. The combination of water-based activities, well-maintained facilities, and natural beauty makes Mollidgewock State Park a favored spot for outdoor recreation in northern New Hampshire.
