prudenceb Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Two different people on two different days this week called whatever NH resource manages Odiorne and were given the same WRONG info. Odiorne is NOT open, despite folks being told it is. Found out the hard way this morning! Prudence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We peered at the sign, and the 10 had clearly been changed to 20. And there was separate sign that said $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Snyder Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I've been watching their website, this changed this afternoon: Current Restrictions at Odiorne Point: Maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet. Seacoast Science Center is closed due to COVID-19 Odiorne Point's recreational areas and hiking trails are open. Playgrounds and indoor facilities are closed. The parking area at the Odiorne Point State Park is open and operating at 50 percent capapcity. the Boat Baunch is currently open. Please do not park along Rte 1A. Sounds like we can baunch again there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Snyder Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 So that's not the whole picture. Even though it's not stated on that list of restrictions, you have to make a "reservation". We were able to do this today with phones and credit cards but it would have been easier to do it from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Snyder Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I don't think you can do it by phone. When I said we used our phones I meant for internet access: https://newhampshirestateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/odiorne-point-state-park/r/deDetails.do?contractCode=NH&parkId=270106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
