Sculptured Rocks Natural Area Details
As its name implies, this geological site is filled with some of the most surreal natural features to be found in New Hampshire. Over thousands of years, these “sculpted rocks” have been carved into smooth arcs and twisted curves from the Cockermouth River that runs through them. This 272-acre park is littered with them, and you will be able to see them up close by taking one of the nature trails along the canyon walls. In between the rocky gorge, you will also find little potholes filled with water. On a warm day, you can jump in the pools and enjoy the refreshing temperature while soaking in the picturesque views of the rocks.
