Getting to the Dartmouth Region by Car

The Dartmouth - Lake Sunapee Region of New Hampshire is criss-crossed by two major highways, I-89 and U.S. Route 4.

From Central and Western Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and points south and west: Take I-91 north, through Massachusetts into Vermont. I-91 in Vermont follows the New Hampshire - Vermont border along the Connecticut River. It intersects with I-89 at White River Junction, Vt., near Lebanon, N.H. Since the Dartmouth region borders on Vermont, there are state highways that cross the Connecticut River into New Hampshire that would be convenient, depending on the ultimate destination.

From Eastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and points south and east: Take I-93 north through Massachusetts and into New Hampshire. In Concord, pick up I-89 north into the Dartmouth - Lake Sunapee region.

From Northern New Hampshire, Northern Vermont and points north: I-91 and I-93 both head near the region. Travelers can use I-91 in Vermont as a conduit, and take numerous roads over the border into the Dartmouth region. The most direct route from I-93 is NH State Route 104 west.

I-89 passes through and near Warner, Sunapee, Lake Sunapee, New London, Lebanon and Hanover, before crossing into Vermont.

U.S. Route 4 takes travelers into Andover, Danbury, Canaan, Enfield and Lebanon.

NH Route 11 runs east - west between Claremont and Andover, passing through Sunapee, Lake Sunapee and New London, and near Goshen.
