Allenstown, located 5 minutes southeast of Concord and just 11 miles north of Manchester, is a small country town. It has almost a third of it's land in Bear Brook State Park, the largest developed state park in New Hampshire with over 10,000 acres. Forty miles of trails traverse the heavily forested park, leading to seldom visited marshes, bogs, summits and ponds and offer a variety of options for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians.
At it's westernmost point, Allenstown shares the village of Suncook with neighboring Pembroke. Divided by the Suncook River, Suncook is essentially two villages in one with public amenities for both towns. As you head east from this section of town towards Bear Brook, the landscape transforms into a more rural scene.
