Franconia Notch State Park is located close to the venue and lodging. It the reason for the name of our venue-- the Notch View! It is an absolutely beautiful area to drive through and explore. You could visit the Basin, check out Mirror Lake or Echo Lake, and see where the Old Man on The Mountain used to be! Many of the recommendations below are in Franconia Notch State Park!
This is a popular attraction for a reason! It is a beautiful 2-mile loop that takes roughly 1.5 hours start to finish. You do have to buy a ticket for entry; we would recommend making a reservation ahead of time but you can buy a ticket at the door. Price is $18 for an online reservation & $21 at ticket window per adult.
This is a 1.5 mile loop that gives iconic views of Franconia Notch. It typically takes less than 1 hour start to finish. If you only have the time for one hike, this is the one we would recommend!
Another good 'bang for your buck' hike. It is roughly 3.1 miles and takes an average 1 hour 30 minutes with breathtaking views of crawford notch
The cog railroad is a biodiesel-powered train that brings you to the summit of Mount Washington, the highest peak in New Hampshire at 6288’ of elevation. The round trip to the summit and back is just under 3 hours. Reservations are not required, however there is limited capacity and most trains sell out in advance so they are strongly recommended. The cost is $79 per person. This one is definitely worth it if you have the time and the weather is good!
If you are needing food or drinks, the Woodstock Inn and Brewery is a must. We like to stop here after hikes for one of their signature brewed beers and comfort food! It is located right in the heart of Woodstock and while it is generally busy, it has a large amount of indoor and outdoor seating option, and the wait is never too long!
Another great food and drink option located in Lincoln!
