The White Mountain National Forest
Most of New Hampshire's mountain peaks over 4,000 feet high are located in the White Mountain National Forest and more than 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail traverses this famous forest.
The main body of the National Forest includes the Presidential Range and many other ranges. Five Federal Wilderness Areas exist within the Forest.
Because of its beauty, its proximity to major metropolitan areas, its 1,200 miles of hiking trails, 23 campgrounds, and the presence of a large number of ski areas within or near its boundaries, the White Mountain National Forest is one of the most visited national sites in the United States.
Squam Lake
The Squam Lakes, located 40 miles north of Concord, are natural, spring-fed bodies of water consisting of a small and large lake connected by a channel. While the islands on the lakes are part of its unique landscape, the coves are quiet and a perfect haven for nesting loons and other wildlife.
