ANNETT WAYSIDE PARK

"The Annett Wayside [State] Park is no longer listed on the NH State Parks Website. There is an old 2013 blog story being used as website link on this map marker. Several Google Maps Reviews noted the park is not being maintained. Also, park is inside the (1,494AC) Annett State Forest. I found no projects listed for this location, most of the effort is devoted to improving nearby parks. It still a great place for a bush-waking adventure, bring a map, compass & water."

"All three trails I found end after a few hundred feet. They look maintained but then just disappear. You'd be following what looks like a trail and then it ends at a sharp hill with no footpath. Or you would follow blue tiles on trees and they would stop after a hundred feet to show what might be a hiking path covered in down trees. Follow that till it vanished."

"Why is the park being clear cut? It looks like the intent is to harvest lumber, not add to the park itself."

"Very overgrown at this point. There are a number of trees down across the trail to the pond. The picnic tables down at the pond have collapsed and likely will soon return to the earth. There bathrooms were still on good shape which was a bit of a surprise given the rest of the park."

"There are no maps or trail markers. Im not even sure if what i went walking on was a trail or just the general direction where all the other lost hikers wandered off in"
