We did the loop that has a bunch of pretty sketchy bouldering and rock scrambling. Would recommend for experienced hikers who are fit and comfortable with advanced rock scrambling. A great reward at the summit! Very memorable hike, what a tough day back to hiking!

The Chocorua Lake Conservancy allows access to the public to Chocorua Lake and the Little Lake as well as a 17-acre area known as The Island between Old Route 16 and the lake on the east side and the three-acre area known as The Grove around the Narrows Bridge at the south end of the lake --- all for free --- no admission fee. Most people know the Narrows Bridge from which to get a scenic view of Mount Chocorua across Chocorua Lake. The Grove around the southeastern part of lake offers some hiking. My most-recent visit to Chocorua Lake, Narrows Bridge, and The Grove was while en route to North Conway, Intervale, and Bartlett. When I arrived, there were several other visitors there. Meanwhile, two men from the Chocorua Lake Conservancy were staining a new wooden post fence/railing on the north side of the bridge. I began my visit with taking some photos from Narrows Bridge. Then, I trekked awhile on the trail at The Grove on the shores of Chocorua Lake. When others realized there was a trail there, I had company. This area is a place of unspoiled beauty. I rate Chocorua Lake and its environs at 5.0. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.

Great location, amazingly good shows by a professional summer troupe....only open for the summer season but it's generally packed for the 3-5 plays that they put on every year. Well worth a visit. They have a dinner theatre option which is very good and very, very limited.

My family of 6 was staying up at our family house on Lake Ossipee, and we decided it was time we try visiting the extremely inexpensive Remick's. The farmhouse was quite a set up with little exhibits and write-ups documenting the history of the farm and Remick and his family, and we got to see a number of people sewing and knitting in one of the rooms, which was nice. That tour of history was just the start. We emerged outside and we were immediately impressed with the large pasture land out back. We were invited over to see a goat being milked, and it was very cute. My kids were even able to help milk the goat! And then we got to see another goat be bottle-fed some extra milk, which was adorable. We then walked around and visited the herb garden where one of the volunteers walked us around the garden, discussing the different herbs and flowers, and everyone just loved that. We visited with the hogs and goats and other animals, and then we took a half-mile walk around the whole property down a trail that encircled the different fields. That was truly enjoyable, and when we got back, we paused at a couple of the old buildings and then ate a lunch under a tent with picnic tables. Overall, a wonderful hour or two at this hidden oasis filled with great people.

6. White Lake State Park

Great place to stay for semi-natural camping. Close to North Conway as well as area restaurants and grocery stores, but you don't really need to leave the park unless it is very rainy. Campground has hot showers but relatively primitive. I would not use them without wearing a pair of flip flops. Rest rooms are relatively clean. The campground tries, but sometimes campers are the neatest people and one of my pet peeves is parents allowing young children to use rest room unattended. However, the swimming and the lake makes up for any short comings and if you can plan your trip to encompass just great weather, camping is great. There are a few walk up sites. Usually the pickings are fairly good Sunday thru Tuesday. By Wednesday the pickings are slim! The campsites are good size although many of them more easily accommodate a tent! But it is a great family place. My children who are now in their 40s learned to swim there as there is a long gradual walk to deep water and the lake is spring fed so it is usually clear and clean. Sandy bottom in swimming area.
