Canoeing, kayaking and river rafting on the Pemigewasset River ("the Pemi") are big pursuits here, as are hiking to the Appalachian Mountain Club hikers' huts in Franconia Notch State Park and the White Mountain National Forest, and camping at the National Forest campsites along the Kancamagus Highway.

In summer there's an excursion train to take you into the mountains while you dine aboard.

In winter, Loon Mountain is a major New Hampshire ski area, with its own small antique steam train just for fun. Loon is also active in summer: the cable car carries visitors to the top of the mountain for picnics, forest programs and hikes.

From I-93 Exit 32, go east into Lincoln along NH Route 112 and you'll see the town spread out on both sides of the highway.

Motels, restaurants and shopping centers are all here, and at the far end of this commercial district is the Loon Mountain resort and the beginning of the Kancamagus Highway.

North Woodstock, the town on the opposite (west) side of the Pemigewasset River, has additional lodging and dining possibilities.
