madison boulder

Its a huge rock, nothing spectacular or worth going out of your way to see. If you do it will only take a few minutes to check it out and then leave.

Absolutely worthy of a visit, but you'll get bored in about 45 seconds after you do the short loop around the monstrous boulder. Only 10 minutes off NH16 on the way to North Conway, so this is a must visit at some point.This place could use 2-3 picnic tables.

There isn't much to see, but it's a really interesting natural site with a giant rock left behind by the glacier thousands of years ago. It just sits there in the woods, but it's cool to see it.

A glacial erratic the size of a couple of 3 deckers (for those from Worcester, you know what they are) The road goes up near the "rock". Once you walk around it the enormity of this "stone" really hits home. There are no commercial points near this site - a welcome change. The peace and serenity of the forest enhance the whole experience. Try to get a picture that does this rock justice!

Huge glacial erratic (larger than a house). It's fun to walk around it (but watch out for the obscene graffiti if you have kids with you...some people have to ruin everything!) Be careful on the road to get there, it's in pretty rough shape.

Before you visit take a few minutes and watch a documentary on youtube about the ice-age. It is so hard to imagine and comprehend, but this rock gives proof. A seven day vacation through seven states and a big rock in the middle of the forest was my favorite stop!

Check out Madison Boulder! It is one of largest glacial erratics in North America. It is a short hike in, well worth the trip.

It's a quick side trip only 5 miles from the east end of the Kancamagus Highway and worth the time. Basically it's just a really, really big rock. We were able to drive to within a hundred yards of it, but the road was pretty dry. In the spring it could get pretty rugged. I can't say I'll ever go back, but I'm happy I have been to it.

i like these places a little geographical history, this rock looks like pink granite and it is enormous, you can drive or ride in but the road is very rough like a goat trail. hiking trails nearby. we road to hurricane mt road next about 20 minutes away. no bathroom but you are way out in the sticks. reader board with info about the glacier rock.

A must see for everyone :) a nice hike to see a wonderous boulder rock :) This trip is for everyone young and the old. In a quiet setting in NH.

Impressive and totally non-commercial. Its back a path in the woods and is big rock with a path around it. Its just something to see that you won't forget. Free.

Definitely worth the detour if you're in the Madison or Conway Area. The Madison Boulder is tucked away off Rte 113. It's only a mile round trip hike and fairly level. While I read about how large the boulder was, it’s truly amazing when you’re standing at the base of it. Be aware there are no bathroom facilities at this location.

One of my favorite things to show visitors to my area. Off route 153 in Madison, between Conway and Silver Lake, is the Madison Boulder. This is a glacial erratic - a GIANT boulder left behind when the glaciers retreated about 10,000 years ago. This is a rock as big as a house. Rough dirt road for the last .75 mile or so, no stair climbing required to visit, but the path around the boulder and parking area are not paved.

Worth the detour, it is a giant random piece of ice age debris in the woods. I was not impressed by the sound of it, but it is actually pretty cool.

The Madison Boulder is tucked away down a path in the woods at the end of a small road in Madison. There is a trail sign explaining the boulder was carved from the ice age. When you get to the boulder its amazing how large it is. The walk is about a quarter mile and flat. This is well worth the photo op and its free can't beat that.
