Pawtuckaway State Park offers a variety of landscapes, with something to do and see for everyone. There are many opportunities for hiking, with trails leading to many special points of interest, including a mountaintop fire tower; an extensive marsh where beavers, deer, and great blue herons may be seen, and a geologically unique field where large boulders called glacial erratics were deposited when glacial ice melted near the end of the Ice Age.
The campground sites line the shore of beautiful Pawtuckaway Lake. The lake has a large family beach with a bathhouse, group picnic areas, a playground and a ball field. Other activities in the park include biking, fishing, snowmobiling and cross country skiing.
