Most of our campgrounds will charge a FEE when campers have visitors at their properties. You might ask WHY? Consider the expense of operating a camping facility from the cost of utilities, to maintaining pools, restrooms, insurance, safety concerns and the added strains on the entire property when visitors are present. Who’s to pay for all of this? We hope you’ll understand that visitor fees are just the price of admission to the campground’s facilities. Thank you!

Things to do… Climb the Twins There are two “Monadnocks” in the region: Mount Monadnock in Jaffrey, one of the mostclimbed mountains in the world, and the lesser known “Pack Monadnock,” located in Peterborough’s Miller State Park. The bigger Monadnock at 3,165 feet offers forty miles of trails. Although the 2,290 feet Pack Monadnock is the smaller of the two, it’s also a bit more steep in places. Tackle them both! You can also take the 1.3 mile auto road at Pack Monadnock to the summit. Mt. Monadnock does not allow dogs, but Miller State Park does. Accessible Trails The longest accessible trail system in a mountainside setting in the country, the Gregg and Dutton Brook trails at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center in Greenfield provide easy access for people of all abilities, including people who use wheelchairs or other devices for mobility, seniors and families with children. Stonewall-ing in Keene The Stonewall Farm in Keene is an agricultural gem. It’s a working farm using both historic and modern farming techniques that include an animal feeding program, farm stand, a learning center, a discovery room and more.

Family camping in the heart of the Monadnock region.

Gorgeous Gorge The Chesterfield Gorge Natural Area is a 13-acre hiker’s paradise. Cross bridges, listen to running water, stand beside cascading waterfalls stemming from Wilde Brook, and make your way across small streams and scenic paths. Bridges will help you view the steep gorge and beautiful cascades and waterfalls. Rhododendron Reverie Located on Rt. 119W, the best time to visit the 16-acre grove at Rhododendron State Park in Fitzwilliam is mid-July, when the fragrant clusters of flowers burst into bloom. A wildflower trail within the 2,723-acre park is in perpetual bloom from early spring through fall. The trail runs adjacent to the Rhododendron grove, which is the largest in New England. Bird lovers will appreciate hearing the songbirds that make their home here. Rail Trailing The 32-mile long Cheshire Rail Trail is thought to be the second longest rail trail in New Hampshire. It runs from Keene to Winchester. Mostly a dirt trail for mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking, the trail offers a variety of settings including the Stone Arch Bridge that crosses the Ashuelot River. On Tap: Wineries, Distilleries & Breweries

Monadnock is home to New England Sweetwater Farm & Distillery (Winchester), Granite Roots Brewery (Troy), Summit Winery and Poocham Hill Winery (both in Westmoreland), Mountain View Winery (Walpole), Elm City Brewery (Keene), Monadnock Brewing (Langdon) and Post and Beam Brewing (Peterborough).

Information provided by the NATIONAL LP-GAS ASSOCIATION • If an RV has been idle and unused for some time, make some safety checks before using the LP-gas appliances. • Check the entire vehicle, especially the propane system, for possible tampering. Make sure the propane tanks are properly secured. If the cylinders are not mounted on the vehicle, it is recommended that they be placed on level ground, on a firm foundation. • Check all vents (including the regulator vent) and combustion air intakes to make sure they are clear, and contain no restrictions such as foreign matter, bird nests, mouse nests, or mud-dauber wasp structures. • Clean away any debris from around burners and pilot lights such as burnt match sticks, bits of food, etc. • Before turning on the gas at the tanks, be sure all appliance valves are turned OFF, and check to determine which pilot lights must be lit. After the gas has been turned on, be sure all pilots are lit. • As a precaution to determine if any leaks have developed, give your RV a “sniff” test, do a soap bubble test at all connections, or contact your local LP-gas supplier to perform a pressure test on your system.

BRAKE FOR MOOSE

It could save your life!

• • • •

Today, in spite of a limited annual hunt, moose are found throughout the state, and so are moose-car collisions. We want you to enjoy traveling in New Hampshire. Here are some things you need to know to reduce the likelihood of serious injury and extensive damage to your vehicle. The average moose weighs 1,000 lbs! That’s 4 times the size of a big trophy white-tailed deer. The hood of your vehicle fits neatly under the belly of the moose. Moose are a safety concern primarily from May to October. Don’t assume the moose has seen you and will wait until you pass to cross the road.

Renowned for its majestic peaks, natural beauty, and boundless recreation opportunities, the White Mountains Region is a four-season destination for the entire family. Avid hikers seek out this region for its 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest, home to 48 peaks over 4,000 ft. as well as the northeast’s tallest peak, Mount Washington at 6,288 ft. But you need not hike to enjoy the area’s grandeur. Spectacular views are yours via the historic Mt. Washington Auto Road and the Mt. Washington Cog Railway, as well as gondolas, chairlifts, Canopy Tour, and aerial tramways. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound. Take a drive along the 30-mile Kancamagus Highway and National Scenic Byway (Rte 112), or enjoy a ride aboard the Conway Scenic Railroad. Canoe, kayak, swim or fish in the Saco River. Zoom down a zipline at White Mountain-area resorts such as Bretton Woods, Cannon, Cranmore, Loon, and Wildcat. Bicycle or mountain-bike along meandering paths or challenging trails. Play tennis or golf at one of the region’s nine courses. Bring a picnic and relax at Arethusa or Franconia Falls or the spectacular Flume Gorge. Snowmobile or snowshoe in the winter wonderland of the White Mountains region, and visit the area’s 13 ski resorts for skiing and snowboarding opportunities for all, from novice to expert. Family attractions range from Story Land and Santa’s Village to the Polar Caves, Lost River, Clark’s Trading Post, and the Mt. Washington Observatory and Weather Discovery Center. For year-round shopping and dining, the region offers factory outlets, specialty shops, microbreweries and diverse cuisine.

PROPANE SAFETY AT CAMPGROUNDS Information provided by the NATIONAL LP-GAS ASSOCIATION • If an RV has been idle and unused for some time, make some safety checks before using the LP-gas appliances. • Check the entire vehicle, especially the propane system, for possible tampering. Make sure the propane tanks are properly secured. If the cylinders are not mounted on the vehicle, it is recommended that they be placed on level ground, on a firm foundation. • Check all vents (including the regulator vent) and combustion air intakes to make sure they are clear, and contain no restrictions such as foreign matter, bird nests, mouse nests, or mud-dauber wasp structures. • Clean away any debris from around burners and pilot lights such as burnt match sticks, bits of food, etc. • Before turning on the gas at the tanks, be sure all appliance valves are turned OFF, and check to determine which pilot lights must be lit. After the gas has been turned on, be sure all pilots are lit. • As a precaution to determine if any leaks have developed, give your RV a “sniff” test, do a soap bubble test at all connections, or contact your local LP-gas supplier to perform a pressure test on your system.

Hiking to Solitude One of the best hikes in the

Sunapee area takes you up to Lake Solitude and the White Cliffs. The Lake Solitude Hiking Trail up Mount Sunapee, a two- three-hour hike, is a part of the extensive 75-mile Sunapee Ragged Kearsarge Greenway loop, which opens up a whole range of options for longer hikes.

“Walk your horses or pay two dollar fine” That’s the sign you’ll see as you head into the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge in Cornish, NH. This two-lane bridge is the longest span covered bridge in North America and is still open to passenger cars. It spans the mighty Connecticut River and connects two states and two local communities. Many a tourist has stopped by to photograph it (a much better shot on the NH side as you can have Mt. Ascutney in the background).

The “Goshen Ocean” Goshen Ocean is the nickname given to Gunnison Lake, created in 1983 as part of a multiphase federal dam and flood control project. The dam was built as part of a ten dam project intended to protect rivers and watersheds extending to the Connecticut River. Gunnison Lake is beautiful and peaceful with the clearest and cleanest water you will ever see in a man-made lake. It is an excellent place for swimming, kayaking or canoeing, picnicking and hiking. Old stone walls can be seen by kayakers and canoeists under the water of this former farm. Enfield Shaker Village Nestled in a valley between Mt. Assurance and Mascoma Lake, in Enfield, NH, the Enfield Shaker site has been cherished for over 200 years. At its peak in the mid 19th century, the community was home to three “Families” of Shakers. They practiced equality of the sexes and races, celibacy, pacifism and communal ownership of property. Shakers farmed over 3,000 acres of land, educated children in model schools and worshipped in the “Shaker Way.” That’s Entertainment The Lake Sunapee region comes alive in the summer with all kinds of great entertainment. The free outdoor concerts in New London, Newbury, Newport and Sunapee Harbor feature an incredible variety of live music including blues, rock, jazz, bluegrass, pop, big band and reggae. Be sure to check out the top-notch performances available year round at the Lebanon Opera House as well. Annual League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair Starting

great north woods region

Points of Interest: • Ride the Wilds, Coos County (the Northeast’s largest interconnected ATV trail system at 1,000+ miles of trails) • Moose Festival, Colebrook (August)

The unspoiled landscape of the Great North Woods region is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Campers enjoy a refreshing blend of recreation and scenery, combined with the peace and quiet of the wilderness. Stretching up to the Canadian border with 97 percent of the land covered in forest, the Great North Woods region offers some of the best hunting, hiking, rock climbing, ATVing, and snowmobiling in New Hampshire. Here, trails outnumber highways and wildlifewatching becomes a sport of its own, with the moose population upward of 3,500. The Connecticut lakes and the upper Connecticut River offer great trout and salmon fishing. Scenic drives are the region’s leading attraction, so bring a camera to capture the natural splendor. Head up Route 3 to view rolling farmland along the Connecticut River, and enjoy a picnic at Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook. Drive across Route 26 and you’ll pass the historic Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in Dixville Notch, where many first-in-the-nation primary votes were cast in the Ballot Room. Then head to Lake Umbagog, where bald eagles nest. Further south on Route 16 is Thirteen Mile Woods, a stretch of untouched forest along the Androscoggin River, a favorite for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Enjoy 1,000 miles of interconnected ATV Trails – Ride The Wilds. Many of the towns are ATV friendly where you can drive your ATV on roads.

This camping and hunting season, get your firewood from a vendor close to your destination. Don’t pack your own! Invasive insects and diseases in dead and dying wood threaten our native trees and forests. If you move firewood, you could be giving these pests a free ride to new territory. Every camper, cabin owner, and recreationist should leave their firewood at home and obtain it near their destination… that could make a long-term difference in the health of our forests and the quality of our recreational experiences.

Alton Weagle climbed the Mt. Washington Auto Road in a number of unique ways: by car, on foot, walking backwards, blindfolded and finally pushing a wheelbarrow full of sugar…just to name a few. This annual celebration in late May honors his spirit and the spirit of all those from camels to unicycles to Segways to pogo sticks to autos who have been the first up the mountain.

Gorham’s 4th of July Festivities Billed as the largest in NH, this five-day 4th of July celebration includes everything from a tennis tournament, horse drawn wagon rides, and a Carnival Midway to a Classic Car Show with music from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Parades and a spectacular fireworks display on the Fourth cap it all off. Jericho ATV Festival, Berlin If you love off-road riding, this festival at Jericho Mountain State Park is for you.

LEARN TO LIVE WITH BEARS… Although black bears are generally shy and usually avoid humans, they are opportunistic and will search for human food supplies when natural foods are not available. The majority of bear/human conflicts can be avoided. Here are some tips on preventing bear problems. n n

Maintain a clean campsite. Put food scraps and fat drippings in closed containers, not in the campfire. n Do not cook or eat in your tent. n Keep food and cooking gear separate from your sleeping area. n Clean up and/or store outdoor grills after use. n Keep food in a closed-up vehicle or hang food at least 10 feet off the ground and five feet out on a limb that will not support a bear. Enjoy watching black bears and other wildlife from a distance. Respect them and their right to live in wild New Hampshire. For more information about black bears, contact the NH Fish & Game Dept. at (603) 271-3211 or visit: www.wildlife.state.nh.us

its 147th year, the Lancaster Fair draws between 20,000 and 25,000 people each year ready to enjoy all of the activities of an old-fashioned country fair.

River Fire, Berlin Just as the nights are getting colder in New England, the City of Berlin will be warming things up with one of the best fall festivals around—RiverFire! Come to “the city that trees built” to catch a full day of fun, ending with some dramatic fires on the river.

The Bridges of Coos County Take a romantic tour through covered bridge country, spanning well over a century of history. Your covered bridge tour will follow primarily the Connecticut River along U.S. Route 3, from Lancaster up to Pittsburg, a distance of about 60 miles. Leave at least half a day to see them all.

No Ordinary Odiorne Visit The Seacoast Center at Odiorne Point State Park. The state park is worth exploring all by itself, for its 350-acre park with hiking trails and multiple habitats, located right on the Atlantic. The Seacoast Science Center offers a tide pool touch-tank, interpretive exhibits, a 32-foot skeleton of a humpback whale, amazing views of the seashore, and a rare blue lobster in their “Gulf of Maine” exhibit hall. A Day of Discovery The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire, located in Dover, will actively engage the entire family in handson discovery. With interactive exhibits that involve exploring, inventing, designing and testing, The Children’s Museum aims to inspire all to become the next generation of innovators and creative thinkers. A favorite place on a rainy camping day! While you are in Dover, stop by the Woodman Museum, a traditional early 20th-century style natural science, history, and art museum with exhibits for all ages. The campus is home to four buildings, which include the Woodman House (1818), the Hale House (1813), the William Damm Garrison (1675) and the Keefe House (1825). Go Back in Time Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth

provides visitors with the opportunity to experience and imagine how people lived throughout four centuries of New England history. This is achieved through restored furnished houses, exhibits, period gardens, historic landscapes, and costumed role players. The American Independence Museum in Exeter, New Hampshire’s Revolutionary War Capital, celebrates the impact this state had on the establishment of our country. Through tours of National Historic Landmarks, such as the Ladd-Gilman House, and educational programs for children and adults alike, visitors can appreciate the early patriotic fervor of this country’s founders.

New Hampshire Off Road Recreational Vehicle Laws Who has to register their OHRV? All OHRVs that are used off of the owner’s property must be registered. Motorcycles that are registered for highway use must also register as an OHRV if they are to be used off road. Conventional motor vehicles (cars and trucks) that are registered for highway use are not required to obtain an OHRV registration. Cars and trucks are not permitted on OHRV trails.

Where can I register?

The New Hampshire Off Highway Vehicle Association represents affiliated Wheeled OHRV clubs in the state and speak for all ATV’ers & Trail Bikers. Our goal is to create a network where (OHRV) enthusiasts, organizations and supporters can share information and experience, participate in educational opportunities and become partners in creating a positive image for the sport. New Hampshire Off Highway Vehicle Association PO Box 96 • Cornish Flat, NH 03746 (413) 200-8061 • Email: info@nhohva.org • www.nhohva.org

Registrations can be made in person at more than 200 OHRV Registration agencies located throughout the state. A complete listing of N.H. OHRV agents can be found online at www.wildlife.state.nh.us/OHRV/agents.html. Businesses that sell OHRV Registrations include OHRV sales and repair shops, sporting goods stores, country and general stores and some marinas. Registrations are also available by mail; call (603) 271-3422. Some agents between the months of May and October also sell non-resident 10 day temporary OHRV registrations. Show proof of club membership to receive a registration discount.

Can a child legally operate an OHRV? Any operator 12 years of age and over must show proof of an approved safety education class or possess a valid motor vehicle driver’s license. Any operator under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a licensed adult over the age of 18. Any operator under the age of 12 cannot cross or operate along any roads. Any operator under the age of 18 cannot carry a passenger on a 3 or 4-wheel ATV. Any person under the age of 18 must wear a helmet and eye protection at all times while on the machine.

Is my New Hampshire registration valid in other states? Your New Hampshire snowmobile registration is valid in Vermont, but you must purchase a Non-Resident Trails Maintenance Assessment Pass and join the state association and local club. Some states and provinces require proof of insurance and payment of a trail use fee or club membership. The state of Vermont requires that any snowmobile operator born after July 1, 1983 must show proof of safety education. When planning to ride in other states or provinces, call ahead for particulars and restrictions such as dates and available trails. This information is from the WWW.RIDE.NH.GOV website
