As many as 19 logging railroads were in operation throughout the area and are part of the lore of this fascinating region. Beyond the many unique shops, restaurants, and lodging options, visitors today can enjoy scenic train rides, natural wonders, man-made attractions and endless adventures. A must see while here includes a drive across the Kancamagus Highway, the Northeast’s first National Scenic Byway, which begins in Lincoln and travels east for 34 miles to Conway.

Kinsman Notch is the westernmost of the major notches

that lie between Mount Moosilauke and Kinsman Ridge.

The Appalachian Trail crosses at the height of the land and is also home to Beaver Cascades, Beaver Pond, and Lost River Gorge.

Quincy Bog Natural Area is located in Rumney and is a 1.3 mile ecological trail through Quincy Bog. Walk the wooden boardwalks and learn about wetlands, vegetation, and aquatic mammals.

WARREN and RUMNEY Warren is home to a Cold War era Redstone Rocket, which is said to be the only missile installed in a public park.

The missile is a replica of the booster rocket that lifted Alan B. Shepard, America’s first astronaut, into space on his brief sub-orbital trip.

The Warren Recreation Trail is an awesome multi-use, multi-season trail, designed for mountain bikes, ATVs, snowshoes, cross-country skis, and snowmobiles. This 4-mile trail offers beautiful scenery and runs along Black Brook.

One of New Hampshire’s Rail Trails, the trail begins on Route 25 in the quaint village of Warren, near the Redstone rocket and eventually connects with the Mount Moosilauke ATV trail system.

WOODSVILLE, BATH and NORTH HAVERHILL Take the road a little less traveled on Route 112 West through scenic Kinsman Notch to the villages of Woodsville and Bath. The road winds along the Wild Ammonoosuc River; take time to pull over to snap pictures of the historic covered bridges along the route.

The Covered Bridge Capital of New England!

Looking for covered bridges? Look no farther than Woodsville and Bath. Three covered bridges are located within mere miles of one another – cross all of them off the check list!

The Bath-Haverhill Covered Bridge is the oldest covered bridge still in use in the state. It is the only bridge to be erected at this site and includes a covered passageway for pedestrians.

The Bath Bridge, in the center of Bath Village, is the longest covered bridge in the state with both sides located in New Hampshire. It features an enclosed sidewalk for pedestrians and is also among the oldest.

The Ammonoosuc Recreational Rail Trail runs for 19 miles from Central Street in Woodsville to Industrial Park Road in Littleton. Open to biking, walking, horseback riding, X-C skiing, ATVs & snowmobiles. The Ammonoosuc River provides a gorgeous backdrop to this trail. Along the way, the Lisbon Depot is must see.

Bedell Bridge State Park is a 38-acre park located along the Connecticut River. The park was the site of a historic two span covered bridge, the second longest in the country.

The Brick Store in Bath is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as “America’s Oldest Continuously Operated General Store in the USA”.

Peruse their smoked meats and cheeses, homemade fudge, deli sandwiches and unique gifts.

Explore the 258-mile Connecticut River Byway, known as the natural bridge that unites New Hampshire and Vermont.

FRANCONIA Franconia sits on a rich iron deposit, and the region once produced pig iron and bar iron for farm tools and cast-iron ware. It is home to the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway and was once home to Franconia College during the OMOT 1960s and 1970s.

Besaw Iron Furnace is an octagonal stone stack visible on the far bank of the Gale River, built with local granite, and is all that remains of this 200-year-old iron smelter.

SUGAR HILL Known as the “newest” town in New Hampshire, Sugar hill was incorporated in 1962 and named for the large groves of sugar maples located within town limits. The quintessential New England village offers unparalleled views of the Franconia Range, which helped persuade notable folk including actress Bette Davis and novelist

Earnest Poole to reside in the area.

In 1929, the first resort-based ski

school in the country was established on the slopes of a hill in town, providing the initial push to the sport America knows today.

The glorious fields of pink and purple lupine flowers bloom in June, making Sugar Hill one of the most scenic places to visit in Northern New England.

TWIN MOUNTAIN and BRETTON WOODS

Surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest, the towns of Twin Mountain and Bretton Woods offer year-round outdoor adventure, natural beauty, the Northeast’s highest mountain peak, and boast hundreds of years of hospitality.

Twin Mountain was incorporated in 1832 as the town of Carroll, which includes the villages of Twin Mountain, Bretton Woods, Fabyans, and Crawfords. Early settlers farmed fertile soil and felled the expansive forests. Today, the past informs the present from the long-gone grand hotels to the once thriving logging towns to the town’s historic cemeteries.

Bretton Woods is home to the

Omni Mount Washington Resort,

where delegates from 44 nations convened in 1944 to establish the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. The signing of the formal documents took place in the Gold Room, located off the hotel lobby and now preserved as a historic site. The distinctive red-roofed hotel is a destination for guests from around the world and offers a veranda ideal for sipping a cup of tea or coffee while enjoying the stunning panoramic mountain views.

kellyarmstronginlouisville

The historic Crawford Path ranks as the oldest continuously maintained hiking trail in the United States. Dating back to 1819, the National Recreation Trail runs from Route 302 in Crawford Notch to the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington.

Bretton Woods Ski Area is home to the Bretton Woods Skyway, the state’s first 8-person gondola. First used during the 2019-2020 ski season, it will be open in the summer months for scenic rides with views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range.

JEFFERSON and LANCASTER

@erik_dowell

Set amid the farms and forests of northern New Hampshire, Jefferson is home to the oldest 18-hole golf course in the state, a National Natural Landmark, and endless miles of trails and panoramic views of the Presidential Range. Lancaster started as an 18th century mill town and today is a rural village

with a boutique Main Street, 4-season outdoor recreation, and a 420-acre state park.

Head to the top of the stone fire tower on Mount Prospect in Weeks State Park for a 360-degree view of the Northern White Mountains. The John Wingate Weeks House Museum is open to the public and there are many trails to explore the 446-acre property.

Everyone wants to see a moose! The best time to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures is dusk and dawn.

Head for the North Country and take a drive on Routes 3N, 115 and 2; watch the sides of the road and your chances of seeing a moose are pretty good!

Nestled beneath the mountains north of the Presidential Range, Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge has been called

one of the crown jewels of New Hampshire’s landscape.

The ponds, wetlands, and forests of this refuge support

a wide variety of significant ecological features; get out

on one of the hiking trails and see for yourself! @cae_imagery

GREAT NORTH WOODS

@nhdave63

Located in Coos County, the Great North Woods is home to the northern part of the White Mountain National Forest. With acres of wilderness to be discovered, the North Country is a nature lover’s paradise. The outdoor adventure possibilities here are endless, with miles of trails to explore via ATV and snowmobile, lakes and ponds to fish, rivers to raft, mountains to climb, and rural campgrounds.

Moose Alley, located along Route 3, is known for frequent moose encounters. Visit Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge and Route 16 along the Thirteen Mile Woods for more sightings of these commanding creatures.

The Great North Woods is notably the home of Dixville Notch, where the town’s tiny population cast the nation’s first votes during the NH primary and U.S. presidential elections.

Dixville Notch State Park spans 127 acres and offers a scenic gorge, waterfalls, and hiking trails that lead to Table Rock and nearby mountains.

Know Before You Go! When visiting the White Mountains

Here’s what to know before you go. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, attractions, experiences and other offerings will be modified and may be subject to limited availability based on direction from health experts and government officials to promote physical distancing. We want all of these opportunities to remain available to all, and the best way that you can help us do that is by finding out what you need to know before you go, being respectful of local communities, businesses, and environments, and being prepared to follow guidance that is designed to keep you and the local residents safe.

1

Plan Ahead

Call or visit the website of the Attraction or business you want to visit to learn about their guidelines and any changes to their operations. Learn whether tickets must be pre-purchased online or if you need to make reservations. Do not be disappointed by being uninformed!

2

Wear a Mask

3

Maintain Distance

4

Be Acceptant

When visiting, please Wear a Mask at Attractions, businesses, and anytime you are unable to maintain 6-feet of physical distancing from people not in your party. You will find that cloth face coverings are required at most places.

Different people have different levels of concern for Covid-19, and therefore may be more – or less – worried about close contact with others.

Please be thoughtful about this in our region and businesses and stay 6 feet (2 meters) from others.

Attractions and Businesses are operating differently. They have adapted to the new “norms” posed by COVID-19, and we encourage you to embrace those changes designed to protect the health of our guests, our employees, and our communities.

Early visitors to the Mount Washington Valley were captivated and inspired by the mountain landscape, just as today’s visitors are drawn by the scenery and adventure to what the locals simply call “The Valley.”

And don’t forget the shopping (tax-free, of course)!

With the surrounding mountains and rivers, the region drew artists like Asher B. Durand and Benjamin Champney, who brought the beauty of the valley to the wider world, including King Edward VII of England, who bought a dozen paintings to hang in Windsor Castle. The Valley spans over 25 towns from Fryeburg, Maine to Jackson, from Chocorua to Gorham and every town between Crawford and Pinkham Notch.

1. Crystal Cascade With a total drop of 100 feet this is a popular and beautiful two segment waterfall. The upper segment is a horsetail approximately 70 feet in height, and the lower section is a 30-foot tall block. The .6-mile RT trail is not steep but is a steady climb.

2. Madison Boulder At 83' long, 37' wide, 23' high, and weighing over 5,000 tons, the largest known erratic boulder in New England is also one of the largest in the world!

3. Presidential Rail Trail Stretches for about 20 miles from Gorham to Hazen Road near the Whitefield airport. Open to non-motorized recreation (except in winter), it provides views of Mount Washington, the surrounding area and wildlife. jsinon

CHOCORUA, OSSIPEE, TAMWORTH and EATON CENTER Located between the Lakes and White Mountains regiomns, Tamworth is a historic town founded in 1766 that encompasses the villages of Tamworth, Chocorua, Whittier, South Tamworth, and Wonalancet. Tamworth is home to Lake Chocorua, White Lake, flowing brooks and rivers, streams and ponds, and the oldest repertory theatre in the U.S. Lake Chocorua, in Tamworth, is a picturesque lake with commanding views of the rugged summit of Mount Chocorua. The lake is most noted for its calm, serene setting and its stunning views of the mountain’s bald summit (one of America’s most photographed mountains).

Swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing are popular recreational activities on the lake.

Dog lovers will appreciate the role of Wonalancet in history, for it is here that the Chinook sled dog was developed and raised.

This hardy athletic breed was developed for

drafting and sled

dog racing; Chinook

sled dogs were used

by Admiral Byrd

on his Antarctic

expeditions, and

later by the Army

in search-and rescue missions.

ChinookSign_hmdb.org

The Chinook is New Hampshire’s official state dog.

Ossipee, which includes several villages, is a resort area and home to part of Pine River State Forest. It shares its name with the Ossipee Mountains, a range of ancient volcanoes, which border it on the west.

PINKHAM NOTCH Located 16 miles north of Jackson is Pinkham Notch. Discovered in 1784 by Jeremy Belknap, Pinkham Notch (elevation 2,032 ft) is a mountain pass resulting from extensive erosion by the Laurentide ice sheet. Pinkham Notch was eroded into a glacial U-shaped valley whose walls are formed by the Presidential, Wildcat, and Carter-Moriah ranges. The notch is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts for hiking and skiing, and home to the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Visitor Center and Joe Dodge Lodge.

A popular vacation destination, the Lakes Region is fittingly named for the 273 lakes and ponds in the region, the largest of which are Lake Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam Lake, Squam Lake, and Newfound Lake. Throughout the region, the scenery is spectacular, the waters are crystal clear, the beaches are sandy, and there is every imaginable water sport available including ice fishing in the winter.

Lake Winnipesaukee’s approximate number of miles of shoreline Approximate surface area (in square miles) of Lake Winnipesaukee Maximum depth (in feet) of Lake Winnipesaukee 92 South / Lakes Region

Lake Winnipesaukee, with

mountain ranges and wooded

shoreline as the backdrop, takes the prize as the largest lake in New Hampshire and is also the third largest lake in New England.

While this area is known mostly for its lakes, there are two small mountain ranges that offer great hiking and stunning views: the Belknap and the Ossipee Mountains. Take advantage of the multitude of water activities such as boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing or make your way to Weirs Beach with its boardwalk, train rides, and family amusements. In June, this lakeside town hosts the world’s oldest, and nation’s 2nd largest, motorcycle rally: the annual Laconia Motorcycle Week.

2. Rocky Gorge and Lower Falls Rocky Gorge is an easy walk along the Swift River to a footbridge that spans the river. Rocky Gorge has a 10' drop and rapids through the gorge.

At Lower Falls, the river drops many feet over smooth granite rocks into a large pool—an ideal place to picnic, sunbathe, and swim.

1. Scenic Overlooks

CHAMPNEY FALLS TRAIL is a 3.1 mile out and back trail that brings you to the 70' cascades of Champney Falls. Bring a picnic lunch to the falls and the more adventurous hiker can choose to continue the hike to Mt. Chocorua bringing the total hike to 7.4 miles.

3. Albany Covered Bridge

extends over the Swift River.

It is one of a few bridges in the state still open to motor vehicles and pedestrians.

4. The Russell / Colbath House Built around 1831,

and owned and operated as a museum by the US White Mountain National Forest Service, this is the only surviving early homestead in the Swift River Valley. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

5. Sabbaday Falls A gravel path approximately 1/4 mile, handicapped accessible, leads to a spectacular 45' waterfall and gorge.

Please Note: Parking spots on the Kanc during peak season can be scarce. We recommend visiting either early or late in the day.

SOUTH MOAT is on the difficult side of moderate and is about 5 miles out and back. Stunning views of Mt. Washington and Mt. Chocorua from the summit. Need a challenge? Combine this hike with Middle and North Moat to complete the Moat Traverse…just under 10 miles in length.

TABLE MOUNTAIN can

be accessed from Bear

Notch Road, so it is only

available to hike from

May to October, as the @livesforsummits road closes in winter.

The trail is about 4 miles out and back and the summit ledges offer beautiful views of NH’s Sandwich Range, as well as more distant peaks in Maine.

Covered bridges are built using a support system that incorporates “trusses.”

There are many kinds of trusses, but one of the most wellknown is …

… the Paddleford Truss, named for its designer, 19th century New Hampshire millwright Peter Paddleford—who never patented the design!

The Paddleford Truss design was used extensively for most of the 19th century in covered bridges throughout Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Covered bridges and waterfalls dot the White Mountains landscape and are favorites with visitors and locals alike. There are more than 100 waterfalls in the area and plenty of covered bridges, too—enough to satisfy the most devoted falls or covered bridge spotter.

Many of the bridges listed below feature the Paddleford Truss design, including the Bartlett Bridge, the Swift River Bridge, the Flume Bridge (above), and the Honeymoon Bridge.

On these pages are some of the best—check them out and see if you agree.

You’ve come to the right place! You can’t get more bang for your foliage buck than to hike up a mountain and see the autumn world spread out below. October is the perfect time to hike in the White Mountains, as the air is cooler, there isn’t as much foot traffic as in the summer, and the payoff at the top is incomparable! So lace up those hiking boots, grab your camera, and head for the hills!

BLACK CAP Intervale

The trailhead for this 2.3-mile trail is 3.5 miles off Rte. 16 on Hurricane Mountain Road in Intervale. The easy trail leads through the Green Hills Preserve before bringing you to the summit with amazing foliage views of Mount Washington Valley.

PINE MOUNTAIN Gorham

While this 3.4 mile out and back hike is on the moderate side, the foliage reward is worth the climb. Chapel Rock is located at the summit, and while it is on the private property of a summer camp, it is accessible and open to hikers in the fall.

MOUNT TECUMSEH Waterville Valley

Waterville Valley Ski Resort is located on Tecumseh, but that won’t get in the way of beautiful viewpoints which showcase the incredible foliage. This trail is on the easier side of moderate and is 5.2 miles out and back. Access the trailhead on Tripoli Road.

MT. WASHINGTON BY THE NUMBERS

The peak of Mt. Washington was first seen by explorers off the New Hampshire coast in 1524.

Known to Native Americans as Agiocochook, the summit was believed to be the home of the Great Spirit.

Today, by foot, car or train, the 6,288' summit of Mount Washington is surprisingly accessible. Home to Mount Washington State Park, it is visited by more than 250,000 people each year from all over the world, who come to revel in the top-of-the-world views of New England, New York, Canada, and on a clear day, even the Atlantic Ocean!

The first footpath to the summit was carved out by Ethan Allen Crawford in 1819; today the Crawford Path is the oldest continually maintained footpath in the country. Visitors can drive up the Mt. Washington Auto Road or simply leave the driving to the cheerful (and informative) stage guides.

The Mount Washington Cog Railway, the world’s first mountain climbing railroad, opened in 1869.

Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeast and its weather is variable at any time.

The record high temperature is 72°F; the record low, -47°F. Without factoring in the wind chill!

With an average July temperature of 49°F, summer visitors can get a respite from warmer temperatures in the valleys below. When you come, plan to bring a jacket and sturdy shoes.

And don’t forget your camera!

“White Mountain National Forest: Land of Many Uses” read the signs that greet you. The National Forest is a managed and multiple-use forest that provides areas for both recreation and human enjoyment, as well as wildlife habitat and harvesting of the forest, a renewable resource.

THE 800,000-ACRE WHITE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL FOREST

is a powerful presence in the White Mountains.

Adjacent to (or part of ) every village and town, the National Forest ensures that this region will remain largely undeveloped.

The White Mountain NATIONAL FOREST RECREATION PASS The White Mountain National Forest is one of the most heavily used National Forests in the country. With that use comes a large workload to maintain the recreation facilities.

As a result, a program is in place to collect fees for recreational use.

All unattended vehicles parked on National Forest land must display a Recreation Pass where signed. Pass options include a $5 day pass available onsite, a $30 single or $40 household annual pass for those who use the Forest year-round. Recreation Passes are available at area businesses, USFS Information Centers, and the White Mountains Visitors Center. For those holding the America the Beautiful Pass, Access Pass, and Senior Pass, parking is free.

Note: prices are subject to change.

Peaked Hill Pond | Thornton This lovely pond is on White Mountain National Forest land and is accessible by a 1.7 mile hike up an old road. It is an easy trail for kids and the pond is a great place to enjoy a picnic lunch, quick swim, or to cast in your fishing line. @tom_samwise_emily

Cascade Path | Waterville This 3-mile round trip trail begins at the Snow’s Mountain parking lot in Waterville Valley. There are some lovely views of the Waterville Valley Ski Area as you descend into the woods.

The destination is a set of two waterfalls that are perfect for soaking in or just to sit and relax by.

Livermore-Sawyer River Road | Crawford Notch This walk in the woods will bring you to a river, a camping site, and an abandoned logging town! Hike about 1.5 miles up the road and you will find cellar holes, and other evidence of where the lost town of Livermore used to be a thriving mill town. Beyond that, you will come to Sawyer River which is a great spot to take a dip and pitch a tent on one of the camping platforms.

Georgiana Falls | Lincoln This 2.5 mile out and back hike starts on Hanson Farm Road off Rte. 3 and brings you to the scenic and relatively obscure Georgina Falls. The falls themselves are about 30 feet in height and are well worth the visit.

Nature’s Most Colorful Show Have you ever wondered why leaves change color? Few places on earth have New Hampshire’s unique combination of fall weather, variety of tree species, and the rugged terrain that makes for such spectacular “leaf peeping”.

No one can predict exactly when the foliage will peak—that’s up to Mother Nature—but as a rule, from the end of September thru the second week in October, you can expect peak color in the White Mountains. Sometimes, however, due to unusual weather conditions, the colors last thru October.
