Lower Ammonoosuc Falls
The Lower Ammonoosuc Falls in Twin Mountain NH is a great place to go for a swim or picnic. Located along Route 302 just south of the Zealand Campground, the hike into the falls is easy and well worth the effort.Mount Hale

Be sure to Lend a Hand in the construction a huge rock cairn that will last ten thousand years.
Dismal Pool
Aptly named Dismal Pool sits in stark contrast to the clear, clean, fast moving water you would expect to find at the head of Crawford Notch.
The water of this small pond is dank, dark, and muddy. Uninviting for a swim, yet tempting to the fishermen who occassion it's banks.
Mount Willard House and Willey Brook Bridge

This portion of the Mahoosuc Trail climbs Mount Hayes on the southern end of the Mahoosuc Range.
The Mahoosuc Trail is a relatively easy hike affording excellent views of the surrounding Carter-Moriah, Presidential, and Crescent ranges. Mount Washington. Mt Madison, and Mt. Moriah stand out especially well presented.
The view of Gorham NH from the ledges of Mount Hayes is unsurpased. From this vantage point we get an idea why Boston.com voted Gorham as Sporty Town NH and far outclasses North Conway as being central to the best of the White Mountains.
