Knowledgeable Staff
We visited the park over Indigenous Peoples' Day and had a really thoughtful tour by one of the rangers on staff. I enjoyed John's highlighting of the complicated history of this National Park and it was a job well done conveying the influential yet flawed story of the park's namesakes, Abenaki land stewardship and the current state of the forest in the park. I learned some interesting facts about mycelium and leaves changing color as well. The trails are lovely and the facilities are top notch compared to other parks I've visited, and I think you'd be missing out on a full story of the park if you just read the placards and information in the visitors centers. Check out the forest center if you have the time, I'll definitely be back!

nice hike
They had a bark ranger on duty so that automatically gives a star :) We hiked the Jr Ranger trail which despite being gravel is not the easiest of hikes. It's a fairly steep climb from the parking lot up through the woods. Jr Ranger book is a little out of date because at one point they wanted the kids to go into the tree plantation and find a tree their size but the smallest tree in there was easily 12 feet so we just found a random tree in the woods roughly their height. The kids still learned a lot about hte family and conversation. Despite seeing several rangers throughout our hike and touring the visitor's center there was only one very overworked lady running the visitor's center. Overall it was an enjoyable visit.
