We had a nice hike up the paved road, stopped for some snacks at the top and took a wooded trail on our way back down! The weather was beautiful! Unfortunately the tower and museum were closed due to repairs needed but we enjoyed the day, nonetheless ☺️ The views were spectacular!!
What a beautiful Fall day- Oct 1st- at the top of Weeks State Park. The views are incredible along with the hiking trails, overlook and a trip up the tower!. It wasn't busy which was nice and we took our dog (on a leash). The attendees were very nice inside. We hung out on the deck for awhile.
Amazing place! We’ll maintained grounds near the museum. First visit to NH area and what a pretty area. Views allow you too see miles and miles of the various mountains near by. Also note this place is on the National Historical Places.
This place has some of the most beautiful views we've ever seen. Free to get into and worth a stop. The view from the top of the (actively used when there is an elevated forest fire risk) fire tower is breathtaking. The Weeks house is really neat with a lot of history. There's a guided tour that you can pay to take of the Weeks house that I recommend. I'm not a history need but I really did enjoy this one and to see the upstairs of the house is worth every penny. Past presidents like Harding, Coolidge and even Teddy Roosevelt have been there. There's a giant mounted moose head that T.R. shot himself. Beautiful place. Neat history. Worth the stop for sure.
We rode to the top parking lot, but walking up the paved road is also an option. Views were spectacular; the fire tower was open. 👍 Went on a Sunday afternoon in July and met about a handful of people. Could have taken a Museum tour for $5/each ($4 for NH residents). Bathrooms available in the museum/gift shop building. Highly recommend. Would imagine fall time is amazing, but also more popular. We're willing to risk it. 🍁 🍂
