| Fort Stark State Historic Site is located on a peninsula historically called Jerry's Point on the southeast corner of New Castle Island. It overlooks the Piscataqua River, Little Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Fort Stark was named in honor of John Stark, commander of N.H. forces at the Battle of Bennington (1777).
An unmarked walking trail traverses the ten-acre fort site. Picnicking is available but there are no camping facilities. Please visit with caution! Fort Stark is a former military installation. Beware of dangers of unprotected stairs, high walls, rough ground and slippery rocks. Adult supervision of children is required. Fort Stark is free to the public. The gates are open 9:00am to 5:00pm from April 7 through October 13, 2008. |
