paddling here in the White Mountains is a great experience.

Briefly about the general area:
A nice spot like Mt. Washington State Park in the neighborhood of Dry River is too good to leave out; there is a good hiking trail close by called the Dry River Trail. Just can't get enough of the White Mountains. Crawford Notch is a fine place to spend some time at; no need to travel far to visit out of the ordinary stuff like Frankenstein Cliff. At this river you will always have a good time. Near Dry River you stumble on the Mount Clinton Trail which is a magnificent hiking trail, and if you like skiing, you're in luck; Bretton Woods is pretty near.
