Area Activities
"Winter is an etching, spring a water color,
summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all."
... Stanley Horowitz

The Road Least Traveled
Scenic New Hampshire has much to marvel
Robert Frost spoke of "The Road Not Taken"
The road least traveled
Offers opportunities otherwise forsaken.
Spring is a time for nature to come alive.
The hills and valleys bloom in stride.
Our heritage is in the grandeur of the past.
Waterfalls and parks reveal beauty that lasts.
Experience an ocean lobster or a clambake,
A leisure boat ride or fishing on a lake.
Also, hiking trails or mountain tops to see,
A campsite along a brook is the place to be.
Enjoy the merriment of country fairs,
Farmer's markets and carnivals,
To apple picking, pumpkins and pears,
Fall foliage, scenic drives and festivals.
Cross-country skiing, mountain skiing,
And snowmobile trails are appealing.
Friends gathering, relaxing by a fire's glow,
warms you despite the warm winter snow.
New Hampshire's heritage is ours to share;
The hospitality of people who really care.
Experience a place you'll enjoy throughout,
A place Robert Frost spoke so amiably about.
