Located in Fitzwilliam, NH is Rhododendron State Park. This park is known for its grove of Rhododendron that blooms in mid July. The park is located on Rhododendron Road, with a sign marking the park. There is a parking area, outhouses and a couple picnic tables.
A trail map guides you around the property. I recommend doing the loop through the Wildflower trail, which marks a variety of wildflowers, then continue through the Rhododendron area. The trail is flat and easy to navigate.
The rhododendron provide a fun tunnel to walk through, making this a perfect hike for young children.
The best time to visit is when the flowers are in bloom. The state park website provides a bloom report. so you can try to plan your trip accordingly.
The loop is a little over a half mile, but if you want a little longer hike, you can connect with the Little Monadnock Trail from here.
