It's in Laconia, behind the former state prison that was recently closed down (again), and its state of disrepair is lamentable. Which is remarkable when one considers its great location and wonderful potential bordering Lake Winnisquam. I discovered it recently and was amazed. A picturesque, tangled web of beauty.
I thought of that when reading today's UL editorial on the general state of disrepair of NH's state parks. It's the case that public amenities in NH typically lag behind other states that I'm familiar with: Michigan and Maine.
But who cares when it seems the alternative is a state income tax.
But the potholes in the road...my goodness. It puts the expression "benign neglect" into the meaning of "this looks worse than if we were in a post-apocalyptic future." Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes had better amenities on his way to the Statue of Liberty.
