Logging was the major industry in the Western region of the White Mountains during the 1800s and early 1900s. 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, located in Rumney, is a 1.3 mile ecological trail on wooden boardwalks through the marsh to learn about wetlands, vegetation, and aquatic mammals. J.E. Henry Trail is named after entrepreneur James E. Henry. The 3.2 mile path runs alongside the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River in Lincoln through a privately-owned conservation area open to visitors.

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 the 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 Ernest 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 the Sugar Hill Lupine Festival one of the must-see sights in Northern New England.

TWIN MOUNTAIN and BRETTON WOODS

Surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest, the towns of Twin Mountain and Bretton Woods stretch from the towering peaks of the Presidential Mountains to the rushing waters of the Ammonoosuc River. Visitors will find year-round outdoor adventure, natural beauty, the Northeast’s highest peak, and plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind. 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 dawn and dusk. 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

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.

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 Notches.

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 glacial erratic 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.

CHOCORUA, OSSIPEE, and TAMWORTH Located between the Lakes and White Mountains regions, 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. The Chinook is New Hampshire’s official ChinookSign_hmdb.org 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.

A 30 minute drive from North Conway along scenic backroads leads to the trailhead of Foss Mountain in Eaton. An easy 0.9 mile hike for all ages, it is a great spot to view the sunset. And in season, the fields along the trail are covered in blueberries! This spot is a gem! With its clear, green 10 foot deep pool, Emerald Pool in Chatham is a perfect spot for cooling off on a hot summer day. Bring lunch and relax while admiring the 15 foot waterfall. The trail to the pool is 0.8 mile (one way) and well worth the stroll through the woods.

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 90 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.

1. Scenic Overlooks

BOULDER LOOP TRAIL is a 2.8 mile loop trail in a beautiful forest setting. Meander among giant glacial boulders and enjoy incredible views of Mount Chocorua and the Swift River Valley with minimal effort. daraglennie

Take time to stop at the scenic overlooks and enjoy the views; they’re breathtaking! Here’s a little fun fact: the overlooks are perfect for stargazing! 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. 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.

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.

TABLE MOUNTAIN Bartlett

The trailhead to this 2 mile hike is located on Bear Notch Road off of the Kancamagus Highway. This moderate hike has few crowds and the ledges at the summit offer brilliant foliage views of the Sandwich Range.

Nathan Wert

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!

STINSON MOUNTAIN Rumney

This off the beaten path hike is on the list “52 With a View.” Climb to the summit of this 3.6 mile round trip, 2,900' peak and enjoy views of Stinson Lake and the stunning foliage looking south toward Mount Cardigan.

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!

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. To get your Recreation Pass, visit us online at

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.
