Nature
Gardner Memorial Wayside Park is a small public recreation area on Route 4A in Wilmot, New Hampshire, managed as part of the larger Gile State Forest, which spans 6,675 acres. Intended for simple, quiet use, it offers picnicking, fishing in a brook, and a half-mile trail to Butterfield Pond. The brook also reflects the area's past, as a mill once stood there in the 1800s. A memorial to Walter C. Gardner II links the park to the history of Gile State Forest, established by his father. The site combines light recreation with reminders of earlier landscape use and local stewardship.
