History

The park is named after a 19th-century hotel, Winslow House, which was in turn named for Admiral John Winslow, the Civil War commander of USS Kearsarge. A cellar hole in the park's picnic area is all that remains of the hotel. The site became a state park in 1935.

Greenway

The park is on the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway, a loop trail that also passes Rollins State Park, Mount Sunapee State Park, and Wadleigh State Park, as well as Gile, Kearsarge and Shadow Hill state forests and the Bog Mountain Wildlife Management Area.
