Climbing area
Lincoln-Lafayette is a nice day hike that includes a stop-over at an alpine hut maintained by the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). There's a nice 9-ish mile loop that goes up the Falling Waters Trail and down the Old Bridle Path.
One way to get to the top of Mount Washington! Advance reservations recommended.
Rent bikes, explore trails and do some downhill biking here. Other summer activities include resort boarding, climbing and trampoline, scenic chair rides and disc golf.
Rent canoes, kayaks, SUPs, tubes or bikes. Look into floating the Pemi River or adventuring on one of the nearby lakes.
1.2 miles, round trip. Watch out for roots, but otherwise, this is a beginner-level hike.
Check out the cultural offerings at the local Plymouth State College.
Short hike for a pretty impressive falls. Bring your swimsuit if you like cold water. More info here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-hampshire/welton-falls
Great place to stop after a hike up Mount Cardigan. Apples and locally made gift items.
Ride the Tram for some scenic views!
Nice, sandy lake beach. Get there early on weekends. It is popular and can fill up.
Check out the ancestral home of Bekah Smith. Don't drive in or try to enter the house. Is it now a private residence belonging to a stranger.
Hit the seafood shack or the ice cream window for a midday treat.
Brews and bites to eat.
This place has great food and local gifts if they are open. Stand by to see if they will resume regular hours in summer 2020.
