About Pillsbury State Park

Pillsbury is a lightly developed state park in the Washington area, covered in forest and dotted with ponds and wetlands. Its varied habitats support many animals, including moose and loons. Visitors can rent canoes and kayaks, hike or mountain bike the park's trail network, and explore old cellar holes left from farming and logging in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The park also sits along the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway, a long hiking trail. Camping is primitive, with canoe-access and walk-in sites and no hookups.
