Explore the Majesty of Monadnock State Park

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Jaffrey, NH. Head east on NH-124 E/Main St toward NH-202 S. Continue for about 2 miles and then turn left onto Poole Rd. Follow Poole Rd for approximately 1.5 miles until you reach Monadnock State Park Headquarters and Trailhead, located at 169 Poole Rd, Jaffrey, NH 03452. There is parking available on-site, but be aware that a parking fee may apply, which is typically around $5 per vehicle.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, take a bus service that operates from Keene or Peterborough to Jaffrey. The closest bus stop is in downtown Jaffrey. From there, you may need to arrange a taxi or rideshare service to get to Monadnock State Park Headquarters and Trailhead, as public transportation does not reach the park directly. Expect to pay for the bus fare, which usually ranges from $2 to $5, plus the taxi or rideshare fee, which can vary depending on distance.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer to bike, ensure you are equipped with a good map or GPS device. From Jaffrey, take NH-124 E and then turn onto Poole Rd. The ride is approximately 3 miles and can be a scenic route for those who enjoy cycling. There are bike racks available at the park headquarters for secure parking.
