The nature scenery of Carroll County and the cool fresh water beats anything. The Bennett Corner to Whittier stretch of Bearcamp River in New Hampshire is 3.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-IV section. The put-in location is a short drive from Laconia, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more |
difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because
| these hotels fill up quick. The White Mountains scenery is wonderful. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. This is a somewhat short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Bennett Corner to Whittier stretch is one of them. Great exercise and spending some quality time | |
|
in nature will have you coming back for more. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
Briefly about the general area: A great beach near Bearcamp River is Moultonborough Town Beach, and a day
on the slopes of Abenaki is just what you need. So many cool things to do here in the White Mountains, too great to be true. Bearcamp River is right by the Old Locke Road Path; beaches are fine and Center Harbor Town Beach
is no exception. At this river you will never have a bad time. Hiking along the Bickford Trail is delightful fun, and there are plenty of people from South Tamworth here.
