The Old Man of the Mountain Legacy fund is helping create new and unique experiences for first-tine and returning visitors, whether they seek strenuous activity, leisurely and reflective pursuits or family outings. Stunning stoneworks, magnificent views, connected alpine and Notch by-ways and trails, and interactive opportunities in all parts of the Park’s environment will make it a destination to be visited again and again.
 
Central to the Park plan are the Old Man Stoneworks, composed of three distinct features spread out along the pathway from the base of Cannon Mountain to the shore of Profile Lake. Visitors will first walk through two standing stones to make an entrance gateway, then encounter a series of five huge stones which, viewed from the right vantage point, create the outline of the famous Old Man of the Mountain profile. Finally, in a newly landscaped park at the water’s edge, steel pointers that use similar technology will allow visitors to line up the pointer’s irregular edges and restore the outline of the famous profile to its former perch.
