In the summer, enjoy some of the best hiking in the country, dip in a mountain stream or swim and kayak in nearby Echo Lake or beautiful Lonesome Lake, golf at one of the areas many award winning courses, ride the Cog Railway to the summit of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast, or take the Arial Tramway to the top of Cannon Mountain. Explore the Flume Gorge, take the bike path through Franconia Notch or visit one of the many kid-friendly attractions like Santa's Village, Story Land, the famous trained bears at Clark's Trading Post or the thrilling water slides of Whale's Tale Water Park!
