About
The Dolly Copp Picnic Pavilion sits along the pristine waters of the Peabody River in the heart of White Mountain National Forest. This historic pavilion was originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936 and was carefully rebuilt in 1996 using many of the original timbers, along with trees planted by the same 1936 CCC crew. The large pavilion features a stone fireplace and numerous picnic tables, making it ideal for family reunions, wedding receptions, or any large group gathering. The facility includes two metal grills, drinking water, flush toilets, and handwash sinks. A large field directly in front of the pavilion offers ample room for games and socializing. Surrounded by forested land, visitors can explore along the outskirts of the picnic area or fish in the popular Peabody River. The Dolly Copp Campground, with over 170 campsites, is located conveniently across the river. The pavilion is available for rent at $100 per day plus a reservation fee through Recreation.gov. Note that there is no electricity available at the pavilion. The picnic area is open from 8:00am to 9:00pm during the operating season. Nearby attractions include Wildcat Ski Area, the Mount Washington Auto Road, and the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center.
