Limitless Adventure at Pawtuckaway State Park
What’s up, everybody? My name’s Ian, and this is Limitless Adventure.
We’re at Pawtuckaway State Park, and as usual, we’ve got the full lineup of activities planned for today. To kick things off, we’re gonna warm up with a nice bike ride. There are miles and miles of trail here, including plenty of double track like this for some smooth, easy riding. The Fundy Trail goes right alongside Burnham’s Marsh, so pack up your binoculars if you want to do some wildlife viewing.
For more experienced riders, there’s some great single track like the Warren OCO Trail, which was actually designed by mountain bikers.
After our ride, we hopped in the car and headed over to the backside of the park to explore these massive glacial erratics on the Boulder Trail.
This is an incredibly popular spot for bouldering, and if you time it right, you just might catch some climbers in action.
Right down the road from the boulder field is the trailhead for South Mountain. Now we’re gonna hop on the Tower Trail and head right up to the summit.
A short 15-minute hike brings us to this fire tower at the top. Let’s head up for a better view.
Oh wow! From up here, you get some awesome views of the surrounding mountains and all the way to Pawtuckaway Lake—which is where we’re heading next.
We made it back to the beach, and now we’re gonna cap off our day by heading out for a nice paddle. Pawtuckaway is a pretty big lake with plenty of islands and coves to explore, and you know, there’s something magical about being out here in the afternoon light with these pops of fall color.
After a nice leisurely paddle, there’s only one thing left to do today—let’s head back and get that campfire going.
You can’t beat a fall adventure day like today, and this is the type of park you could easily spend a week at and never get bored.
Until next time, I’m Ian, and this is Limitless Adventure.
