Great North Woods has white water, zip lines, ATV trails for your adventure

Bring your adventurous spirit, and your love of the great outdoors, to Androscoggin Valley, where the north side of Mount Washington meets the Upper Androscoggin River. That means there are all sorts of water activities, from kayaking, fishing (including fly and ice fishing), white-water rafting and canoeing to jumping into the perfect pristine swimming hole. In the winter, the skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and dogsledding are fantastic. In the autumn, you can’t beat this scenic region’s hiking and biking trails. From moose tours to zip lines and rope courses, from ATV tours to golfing and camping, the valley has it all. And after your day in the great outdoors, there are comfortable inns and resorts, and a variety of first-rate restaurants, perfect for unwinding.

Is your inner trailblazer calling? Then head to Bear Rock Adventures, where they know the woods of northern New Hampshire like the back of their hands! Whether you want to explore “The Wilds,” the 1,000-plus miles of interconnected trails in northern New Hampshire, from the seat of a brand new Polaris ATV or snowmobile, Bear Rock has a customized itinerary perfect for you. Take a guided or unguided tour and zip past secluded waterways, through pastoral valleys and meadows and up to the tops of mountains with breathtaking vistas. The trips are for all experience levels, and all your safety gear is provided. Rent for a few hours or add in an overnight option, either at the Bear Rock Lodge or a mountaintop glamping site.

Every season brings a new set of outdoor adventures to the Twin Mountain-Bretton Woods area. The downhill skiing, of course, is spectacular at Bretton Woods, Cannon Mountain and even next to the tracks of the Mt. Washington Cog Railway! There’s also cross-country skiing, tubing and snowmobiling on groomed trails. Spring is great time to break out the road, mountain, or fat bike. In the summer, there’s fishing, kayaking, and swimming in pristine rivers, lakes, and ponds. And fall means fantastic foliage on the region’s miles of scenic trails. Take a hike through a wildlife refuge and maybe even spot a moose. Whether you’re up for zip lining, an ATV tour, golfing or a gondola ride, this region really does have something for every adventurer.
