What to Do in the White Mountains

There is really SO much to do in this region of New Hampshire. Full of natural beauty and excitement, the White Mountains are easy to fall in love with. If you extend your stay, we promise you won't be sorry!

Make the most of your stay in New England:

• Take the tram up Cannon Mountain for spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains. On a clear day, you can see Canada!


• Watch the bear show at Clark's Trading Post! Local black bears--bribed with ice cream cones--play basketball, swing, skateboard and more. Don't miss it!


• Cool off at Whale's Tale water park!


• Challenge us to a game of tennis! The Sugar Hill tennis court is just a mile or so from our house!


• Go golfing! The Sunset Hill Golf Course in Sugar Hill boasts the best golf course view. The Lisbon Village Country Club is a historic 9-hole golf course that offers an alternative set of tees the second time around.


• The 16 Major Attractions in the White Mountains Cannon and Flume Gorge are especially close by.

• Take a Hike! There's plenty of hiking in the area. One option is Artist's Bluff--it's super close, short and offers stunning views. Bridal Veil Falls is another closeby option.

Start just 10 minutes down the road and ride 7 miles to the Basin, a 30-foot wide, 15-foot deep crater swirling with fast-moving mountain water. You'll pass the historic Old Man of the Mountain site along the way. Hit us up for directions!
