I am a trout fisherman and Cliff Lake in Nickerson State Park is a 200 acre secret full of trout and a few salmon , where, if you are a skilled lure fisherman (I am!), you can catch and release many trout.

Beautiful ponds tucked away in serene pine forest setting .... hope to get back to fish next trip.

Miles of bike trails that are more hilly (challenging) and varied, but less crowded, than the rail trail they connect to. Quiet and peaceful acres with a pond for swimming. Great family spot!

A great spot for a short walk or a long hike. Bike trails all around, a scenic lake in the middle, it was a nice alternative to shopping in town.

See it if you have some extra time. Not a destination for most people. I like the lake / pond.

Our first camping adventure 7 years ago was a Nickerson with a pop up and 3 kids. I never thought I would find it so much fun. We like a sight near flax pond and swim everyday all day long. the water is Crystal clear, fishing is fun, bike riding, hiking, campfires...you name it. we run into the same folks... More

I have been there twice and both time with friends. Friend Malcolm who lives in Cape Cod showed for my friends and me this amazing place. I will never forget chilling there, walking and sharing stories. Worth to see that and spent some time :)

Nothing really interesting about it unless you are going fishing. Nice sight but couldn't find the other lakes.
