State park where you will find Mount Prospect and a beautiful view of the North Country.
Reviewed By Shannon M - Penacook, New Hampshire
My husband visited after our innkeeper told us that the views were something not to be missed. Oh boy what views were seen! On all sides at the top were breathtaking views of mountains and rivers and lakes. We also took the tour of the cabin and what interesting things we learned. Overall, great visit!
2. Team O'Neil Rally School

Reviewed By Mark B - San Diego, California
I was extremely fortunate to get a slot in a last minute 5 day class. The professionalism of the staff at Team O'Neil is unsurpassed. Instructors are extremely patient, understanding, and knowledgeable and have absolutely no egos (very down to earth). They come from varied backgrounds and have extensive experience in their areas of expertise. Max, Steve, and Al are the instructors I worked with the most, and were a pleasure to work with. It is truly amazing how fast the skill progression occurs. By day five you are tearing down gravel roads on their 600 acre property at top speed with minimal input. I highly recommend this course.

Overall Ratings

Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel is the premier dog sled touring operator in New England. We offer year round dog sledding adventures that range from 2 - 50 miles (including overnights). All of our dog sledding experiences are designed to be hands on to the comfort level of the guests. Participants ages 2 and up are given the opportunity to meet and greet our rescue and second chance sled dogs, help harness and hitch their team and even help drive the sled (at musher discretion for guests and dog safety of course)! As always, the proceeds generated from our kennel based tours go directly to covering the expenses involved in taking in these incredible canine athletes and providing them with a home and job for life.

We got back from New Hampshire this past weekend and Muddy Paws was certainly the highlight of our trip! Due to time constraints, we could only do the one hour kennel tour but it was absolutely worth it. Despite the sub zero temperatures, the three staff we met were all in high spirits and INCREBILY nice. We got stories about each dog and were free to roam and pet whoever we pleased (serious heaven for any dog lover). There was a family from Texas that was awaiting their tour inside the heated area trying to keep warm while we were outside with the dogs. Much to my boyfriend's surprise, we were asked to help hitch the team for their tour (put on harnesses and clip into the line) which just about made his entire day, as well as mine. I have experience with dog sledding and sled dogs in general, as my family lives in Alaska and sponsors one of the greatest Iditarod mushers of all time. I can assure you these dogs were happy, healthy and LOVE what they do. Many are rescues and last chance dogs which I find absolutely wonderful. To make it all even better, when the sled dogs are retired, they are adopted out. We compiled our own list of who's ready for a home because we would love one (or three)!!
Overall, this place is absolutely wonderful and they certainly deserve your business. Dog sledding is such a fun and thrilling experience and I can assure that your kids/family will remember it for a long time.

Super comfy, great people, incredible line up, and every seat a winner. Can't beat it. The outdoor area for drinks is fun to share with others. And then did I mention JANE? She has the humor and vitality to introduce any show from Justin Townes Earl to The Wood Bros..

Reviewed By Mike D - Littleton, New Hampshire
The covered bridge in Littleton NH is a walking only bridge. The location over the Ammonoosuc river is just down river from a series of falls that make a great backdrop for photos. The shoreline is dotted with red maple and a kaleidoscope of color this fall. Saturday their is a Fly Fishing event being held on the river where viewing from the bridge will be epic. Check out Ammonoosuc chapter of TU for details. This spot is amazing any time year and there is a great craft beer place "Schillings" a few steps away. You vill love it.
7. Bretton Woods Canopy Tour

Reviewed By Lisa W - Madison, Maine
Went on a group tour with three other adults and six teenage boys (two groups of five). This is a very cool experience. A couple bouncy sky bridges, a few rappels and nine ziplines made this activity one of the best I have done recently. I asked the boys for their ratings after the tour, and I got 8.5 to 9.5 out of 10. Zipping over the forest floor provides extreme views at several of the zips. Just don't forget to look around! The booking was easy and the personnel were great when we got there. There are two guides that go with you and hook you up and unhook you, giving you advice and instructions, and ours were great. At the end, you get a complimentary ride on the lift back to the top if you want to eat in the restaurant, and a complimentary ride on the racing zip. Although we got a group discount, this is kind of expensive without the discount at a single person price of $110.00. I would definitely do this again even with the cost.

New Hampshire is full of covered bridges and I have made it a goal to visit as many of them as I can.
Mechanic Street Bridge, located in Lancaster New Hampshire is easy to get to as it is just off the main road through Lancaster. It is open for driving across.
Fans of covered bridges and anyone else wishing to see covered bridges should remember to bring a camera.
9. Weathervane Theatre

We went to opening night of Mama Mia!
The playhouse itself is quite nice, and the staff that works the front office was great. There aren't really any bad seats in the house. It's not air conditioned, though, so dress appropriately.
The show itself was very inconsistent. The woman who played Donna was fantastic, as were many of the supporting actors. The man who played Sam, unfortunately, was beyond bad. I don't understand how they could have cast him in this role. His acting was awful, and his singing was even worse. I hate to write a bad review of an actor, but these are supposed to be professionals.
There were also several issues with the sound. I'm not sure if this was just bad opening night luck, or if the problem is persistent.
We had fun, for sure, but there were definitely some kinks that needed to be worked out.

My family and I visited Santa’s Village the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was the perfect place to be to kick in the Christmas season! My children loved the real reindeer - such beautiful animals. They had so much fun feeding them apples. They also had a blast decorating the gingerbread cookies and drinking hot cocoa. We were also pleased to see that there was a manger scene incorporated into the park. The lights that came on in the evening were beautiful and really puts you in a festive mood. If you love Christmas like we do, you will love this park! Just make sure you bring cold weather gear for the colder months!
