If you love the outdoors, Jericho Mountain State Park in Berlin, NH, is nothing short of paradise. The trails are some of the best in New England—well-maintained, diverse, and stretching across miles of rugged beauty. Whether you’re exploring on an ATV, snowmobile, mountain bike, or even hiking on foot, the variety is endless. You can go from winding wooded paths to wide-open vistas that give you breathtaking views of the White Mountains and beyond.
? The Riding Experience
The riding here is legendary. It’s one of the only state parks in New Hampshire designed specifically for motorized off-road recreation, and it shows. You can spend a full day riding without repeating the same trail twice. The mix of technical terrain, smooth cruising stretches, and scenic overlooks makes it an adventure for riders of all skill levels. In winter, the snowmobile trails transform the area into a winter wonderland.
? The People & Atmosphere
What really sets Jericho apart is the community. Riders, hikers, and locals are welcoming and helpful—it feels like everyone’s part of the same big family. Whether you’re chatting at the trailhead or sharing stories in town, there’s a down-to-earth friendliness that makes you feel at home.
?️ Berlin & Gorham
Just beyond the park, Berlin and Gorham add to the experience. Berlin has a rich mill town history, with a grit and pride you can feel in its local businesses and events. Gorham, just down the road, is one of those charming small towns where Main Street feels like a step back in time, lined with great places to grab a meal or stay the night. Both towns serve as perfect hubs—whether you’re grabbing supplies, finding a cozy spot to eat, or just soaking in the North Country charm.
✨
Jericho State Park isn’t just a place to ride or hike—it’s a full experience. The trails are world-class, the scenery is unforgettable, the people are warm, and the nearby towns of Berlin and Gorham make the adventure even richer. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast looking for your next favorite spot, Jericho is it.
This is an amazing place to ride your SxS, ATV, dirt bike, or snowmobile. There are tons of trails offering incredible views. Highly recommend checking out the Wind Towers and the Warming Hut—both are must-see spots that really add to the experience!
A very courteous staff member was working inside the store this afternoon. She greeted us with a smile. We always stop here for a drink, snack and bathroom break when out on the trails.
The Warming Hut on top of Jericho Mountain is vantastic when the air is clean. On the day I went up, we had the smoke coming in from Canada's forest fires.
Beautiful scenery. Lovely walk. Easy hike to Jericho falls. Staff was kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend coming here but bring bug spray! Pet friendly too!
Great place to ride, but if you are a seasoned rider may I suggest going early a.m. at the park. The rentals are not out yet and you have the entire place to yourselves without the inexperienced bombing around. Views of the white mountains and of course wildlife.
I spent a day of my vacation enjoying Jericho Mountain State Park with my girlfriend. We rented a side-by-side for 5 hours and drove the whole time it was so awesome. We will be going back as soon as we can five stars
Rented a 4 seat RZR XP 1000 and had a blast. Trails were a lot of fun. Made the mistake of only bringing sunglasses and not googles. Also recommended a gator for the dust. Wear a white shirt and take some before and after pics!
Very nice park. There's a camp ground there. Scenic views. Great for fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, atv riding, bike riding, etc. Public bathroom available.
Lake with sand. Swings. Saw a heir!
Bring bug spray if your going to stay for sunset and after... those mosquitos!

What originally was supposed to be a snowmobiling trip, turned into renting some RZR1000s from Northeast. What an incredible place to ride. Wasn't too cold, but the warming hut was fantastic. Experience it if you can!
This place never ceases to amaze me. Another great stay with all great amenities. Washing machine and dryer, very clean bathrooms and showers, a beautiful lake with kayaks to rent and so much more. We rented cottage #4 was our second stay in that particular cottage all together we've stayed 4 yrs in a row and love it.
We hit the green trails today and let me tell you they are great. A bit harder than I was expecting so if you have a bone stock jeep I'd suggest not trying it. You definitely need a winch! I ended up going through the trail a second term but this time I slid off one rock and into another breaking my steering linkage. Marc Poulin came out and fixed her up and we got it off the trail! Great guy and the help was much appreciated! Definitely going to hear back when we can!
The lady behind the counter was the sweetest in the world and so helpful to me so that I could find the easiest trail to ride my dirt bike. The trails were amazing and the scenery was gorgeous!
I enjoyed my midweek visit in October. Trails were good. Lake was beautiful. Campground has a small feeling to it and was peaceful. Staff was helpful, firewood available, shower facility clean. My favorite part was the openness because seeing the big sky was amazing.
Such an Awesome " Beautiful Place. So if you're an Outdoorsman /Woman. Especially if you're into All things OHV. This is a must do Place that u got to check out.
We were in Jericho Mountain State Park, NH for the Memorial Day Long Weekend. This place is so amazing that it feels like "Paradise around the corner". The whole trip was fun filled and relaxing, There are so many amazing view points, and eye candy locations for photographers. Being one, myself, I spent a whole night star gazing in the dark skies. We all were very lucky to witness a long array of Meteor Shower, late evening.
The people at the State Park management are so friendly and affectionate. They even provided a 60 ft long extension cord to charge my car the whole night. Bathrooms were neat and clean, The park management has taken every step to provide its visitors a top notch camping experience for a very very affordable price.
I would love to go up there any time. Over all its a 5/5.
