Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll
    find a large number of good rivers. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The Twin Mountain to Pierce bridge section is one of many paddling sections in this
river system. There are many good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The river winds through the White Mountains and you get great scenery. This is a short paddling stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
