BEAR BROOK STATE PARK, with more than 10,000 acres, is the largest developed state park in New Hampshire.

Hiking, biking, swimming and fishing are a few of the favorite activities. Canoe rentals are available at both Beaver and Catamount Ponds, and rowboat rentals are available at Beaver Pond. If archery is your sport, you’ll be pleased to know that Bear Brook boasts two archery ranges – one 15-target range, plus an additional four-target practice range. Fly-fishing enthusiasts will also be delighted to know Archery Pond welcomes their specialty as well. Across the road from Archery Pond is a special little fishing pond just for children under age 12. Shape Up: Worried about no workouts or aerobics while on vacation?
