Located on the 2,290-foot summit and flank of Pack Monadnock in Peterborough, Miller is the oldest state park in New Hampshire. A winding 1.3-mile paved road leading to the scenic summit is open for visitors to drive in summer and on spring and fall weekends. Picnicking and hiking are popular activities at the scenic mountain park. Three main hiking trails ascend Pack Monadnock to the summit. The best known is the Wapack Trail, which is a 21-mile footpath that extends from Mt. Watatic in Ashburnham, Massachusetts to North Pack Monadnock in Greenfield.

A fire tower, no longer used for detecting fires, affords a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Mount Monadnock, 3,165 feet high, can be seen standing alone 12 miles to the west. It is believed Native Americans named the area's mountains, and that "pack" means little. Other peaks and hills of southern New Hampshire and adjacent Massachusetts can also be seen. On clear days views reach to Mount Washington, the skyscrapers of Boston, and the Vermont hills.

The Park is open weekends from mid April to mid-May, then from late October until snowfall, and daily from mid-May to late October. Admission is $3 for adults; $1 for children ages 6-11; children ages 5 and under and NH residents age 65 and over are admitted free.

Miller is a carry-in/carry-out park; please carry your trash home with you and dispose of it properly.



Picnicking
Miller State Park offers picnic tables with stunning views. Visitors can enjoy a meal while overlooking the Monadnock Mountains.
Birding
Birdwatchers can enjoy spotting various species, including hawks during migration season. The park's Pack Monadnock Raptor Observatory is a popular spot for birding enthusiasts.
