Topsmead State Forest

This park is beautiful, a great place to walk my active dog AND break in my new Vivofit. There’s lot of open space for picnics, and although it’s a little damp with all the snow melting there were lots of trails to walk on. Even though there was always a person within our sights, it was very quiet and peaceful. My dog, who believes everyone wants to be and will be his friend, wore himself out trying to find them all. We found two porta-​potties stocked with toilet paper, and supposedly there’s a flush toilet somewhere but I saw no evidence of that. There are tours of the cute little cottage on site beginning in June on the second and fourth weekends of the month, which I am very excited for. It used to be someone’s summer home, and it looks straight out of a fairy tale.
