Kancamagus Highway

Highway 112, or the Kanc, runs from Center Conway to North Woodstock, just south of Franconia Notch. Passing through the White Mountain National Forest, it is considered one of the most scenic highways in the U.S. and offers a number of interesting stopping off points.

Reviewed By Walter R - Augusta, Maine

NOthing compares to the Kangamagus Highway. It has everything that draws the interest of the adventurer: covered bridge, waterfalls, historic sites, lots of hiking trails for beginners to experts. Its especially impressive in the winter when the snow is settled in the woods and along the trails. The Swift River is perfect for the amateur or professional photographer; especially at Lower Falls and Rocky Gorge. If you're daring you can stop along the way and get great shots of the river wit its clean water and interesting falls. Don't miss the Colbath House with its classic barn and simple cemetery. Stop for the historic markers if the history bug has bit you..

Our eldest daughter had her wedding ceremony and reception here yesterday - perfect location, perfect food and Carol and Hannah provided above and beyond service and attention for the wedding. My daughter had researched (and visited) several locations in Maine - and this was the obvious, obvious choice!

As parents of the bride - my wife and I are beyond thankful and impressed by the people who run Stone Mountain Arts Center. The newlyweds are ecstatic with the results!!

You are wasting your time looking for a better venue to hold a wedding.

Thanks, Carol and Hannah and SMAC!! You are the BEST!!

Shawnee Peak for most of the summer is open on Thursday nights for Thirsty Thursdays. Great food, drink, and entertainment on the deck. This past week had an excellent hand made Bacon Cheese Burger with extra crispy fires. Both were cooked to perfection. Great place to meet up with friends and enjoy a summer night

Northeast Snowmobile and ATV Rentals

Reviewed By S K - New York City, New York

We had an Amazing experience at the Fryeburg, ME location.
The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful; Especially John, who explained us the rules and demonstrated how to maneuver the Snowmobile.

John also drove us out till the trails and made sure we were all steady and comfortable using the Snowmobile.

The trails are breathtakingly beautiful with picturesque views. We had the option of taking a 2 hour, 4 hour, or 8 hour trail. We chose the 4 hour trail which we finished in about 3.5 hours. The trails are well marked with wide paths, making it easy to navigate. But, be careful not to drive too fast as curvy turns might appear suddenly.

The snowmobiles are in perfectly new condition and can reach speeds of 70 MPH. They are professionally equipped with a small heater which blows warm air on the hands. We loved that feature very much!

We had a wonderful time and are definitely planning to return next winter!!

Cathedral Ledge

A rock cliff that is popular with climbers.

Reviewed By hippiemoose - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Long winding steep road to the top but the views are well worth it. You may be lucky enough to see rock climbers scaling the ledge. Be sure to walk all around as there are multiple different views of different areas, Some have fencing to make it safer but there are other areas that you can get to to view other rock ledges and walls that have no fencing. A must if you are in the area.

Weston's Farm

Reviewed By sazzifrazz - Massachusetts

We had a similar experience as the mom who reported her children were shamed in September 17th. My son was 6 and up in the small room looking at things. The grouchy old lady did t see that I was up there with him and she came to the bottom of the stairs and was hissing at my son to "get down here... Go find your parents young man!". My son started crying before I realized she was speaking to him. Evil witch!

Diana's Baths

Reviewed By Marry S - Wakefield

Diana's Baths is very pretty when nobody is there, which is never. The Internet has hyped this attraction to the point that it is actually unpleasant to go there because of the crowds. The parking is inadequate, so they run a shuttle (not free) from town to the attraction. There is local concern that the large volumes of people there will actually damage the flora & fauna.
