Best time to visit Northwood Meadows State Park
Late May through early October offers the most comfortable conditions, with warm days, dry trails, and full access to the pond and picnic areas. Summer draws the most visitors, especially weekends, so arriving early keeps parking easier for larger tow vehicles. Fall foliage in late September and early October is a highlight, with maples and oaks turning along the pond loop. Shoulder months of April and November can be muddy and chilly, and winter access is limited to walk-in use for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

How to get to Northwood Meadows State Park
The park entrance is on US Route 4 in Northwood, roughly a 30 minute drive east of Concord and about 45 minutes northwest of Portsmouth. From Manchester, plan on around one hour via NH Route 101 and NH Route 43. Route 4 is a two-lane state highway with rolling grades and some tight village sections in Northwood and Chichester, so RV drivers should watch for traffic slowing near antique shops and lake crossings. The closest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, with Boston Logan about 90 minutes south.
