Gardner Memorial Wayside Park is a small public recreation area located on Route 4A in Wilmot, New Hampshire. It is part of 6,675-acre (2,701 ha) Gile State Forest.[2] The park offers picnicking, a half-mile hiking trail to scenic Butterfield Pond,[3] and fishing on a brook where a mill stood in the 1800s.[4] A park memorial is dedicated to Walter C. Gardner II, whose father established Gile State Forest.[2]
