Or perhaps you'd like to visit some of the lovely New England villages with historical homes, gardens and museums. Travel the lake down to the locks and back. A peaceful way to spend the afternoon. If you are a rock hound you'll love it here. There are nearby mines and shops to delight you.
FALL offers an unbelievable foliage season.
Start with views of Beaver Pond right here, and Pleasant Mountain. Then drive in just about any direction and savor all the beauty. If you are here in October, take in the Fryeburg Fair. It's the state's largest. It's old-fashioned fun and not to be missed.
