A Lakefront Vacation this Summer in New Hampshire
The Lakes Region has a natural beauty that draws visitors to it year after year. Couples, families and friends return together every summer to make wonderful memories. The serene lakes invite lazy swims or boating adventures. While the mountains and forests offer miles of hiking trails to magical waterfalls and lofty summits. Not to mention all the charming lakeside towns to explore with excellent restaurants, shopping and activities.
As winter snow melts and the temperatures begin to rise, the enchanting waterfalls appear. Many trails during the late spring into early summer reward hikers with the falls at their most beautiful. Welton Falls, Sculptured Rocks Natural Area, Beede Falls and Fall of Song are all a short drive from the inn and great 
day trips. A bit further away are Arethusa Falls, Diana’s Bath, Champney Falls, Glen Ellis Falls, Sabbaday Falls, and Lower Falls.
Hikers find thousands of miles to explore, making every visit a new discovery. There’s an endless choice of paths through old growth forests, to mountain tops, and along shimmering lakes. The Winnipesaukee River Trail, Rattlesnake Mountain, Mount Major, and Mount Cardigan trails are always popular. While Franconia Notch, Mt. Chocorua, Mount Morgan, and Red Hill Loop Trail have great views as well. However hikers will find spectacular geological features at Madison Boulder Natural Area, The Polar Caves, Flume Gorge and Visitor Center, and Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves.

A Breathtaking Fall Foliage Vacation
To experience the Lakes Region at its most beautiful, visit during the peak of the fall foliage. This fleeting time of year is worth a special trip and planning ahead. Typically late September to early October are considered the best time to visit, and b&b’s fill up months in advance.
There are many ways to admire the stunning fall colors and every visitor can find one that suits them best. Hikers will love the cool air as they stroll to dramatic autumn vistas. Rattlesnake Mountain, Mount Major and Mount Cardigan are favorites during this time of year. The Kancamagus Highway and Mount Washington Auto Road offer amazing drives with sweeping views. However, many country roads lead to charming New England towns with historic covered bridges. Or sit back and relax on a fall foliage tour by boat, train or plane. M/S Mount Washington and Squam Lake Cruises both offer fall foliage lake tours. Or get a different perspective taking a trip on the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad or Lakes Region Seaplane Services.
