Dolly Copp Picnic Pavilion

About

The Dolly Copp Picnic Pavilion is a historic day-use facility nestled along the pristine Peabody River in New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest. Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936 and carefully reconstructed in 1996 using many original timbers, the large stone pavilion offers a scenic setting for group gatherings such as family reunions, wedding receptions, and special events. The pavilion features eight accessible picnic tables, a large stone fireplace with a flagstone floor, two charcoal grills, flush toilets, handwash sinks, and potable water. A large open field in front of the pavilion provides space for games and socializing. Note that no electricity is available, and amplified music or public address systems are prohibited. The facility is located on NH Route 16, approximately five miles south of Gorham and 13 miles north of Jackson. Nearby attractions include the Mount Washington Auto Road, Wildcat Ski Area, the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, Great Gulf Wilderness, and Glen Ellis Falls. The Dolly Copp Campground with over 170 campsites is located across the river for those seeking overnight accommodations.
