North Country Deer Mountain Campground is located in the heart of New Hampshire's wild and scenic north country, adjacent to the headwaters of the Connecticut River. The river originates at tiny Fourth Connecticut Lake, a pond-bog area just south of the Canada border. Further south the Connecticut River forms the natural boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont. Often referred to as a sportsman's paradise the heavily forested undeveloped area is great for fishing and many other outdoor activities. The abundance of wetlands, including lakes, ponds, bogs, streams and the river provide productive habitat for several species of trout, pickeral and landlocked salmon.
Wildlife is abundant.
Deer and moose are frequently seen adjacent to roads. Loons are commonly seen and heard. Many of the more northern birds, including three-toed woodpeckers and Canada jays are found in the area. Hiking and mountain biking are welcome on many of the logging roads that traverse the area. Trails lead to the summit of Mt. Magalloway, the highest mountain in the area, and to scenic Garfield Falls.
