Places to go in Lakes Region
I don't know if you have little kids with you or not, but some of our favorites are good for everyone. I have been coming up to the lake for 43 years (gasp, am I really that old?), so here goes:
-take the boat to Alton Bay at dusk, play mini-golf and get ice cream at Shibleys.
- husband climbs Mount Major while I go to the Burlwood Antique Store in Moultonboro (?)
- Hart's Turkey Farm for lunch
- take the van up Mount Washington (if you get there early enough, you get an hour at the top). The view from Wildcat Mountain is great, too.
- take a drive to the Mount Washinton Hotel and have lunch.
- take a drive up the Franconia Notch Parkway and take the ride up to the top of Cannon Mountain and have lunch in the terrible little restaurant at the top.
- play all the mini-golf courses in the Weirs (Go-Carts, under the boardwalk, Volcano Golf, Funspot and Pirates Cove ) in one day. We do it every year and my boys love it. We call it the mini-golf marathon.
- Squam Lakes Nature Center - very nice
- Lost River, Clark's Trading Post, Polar Caves
- picnic at Castle in the Clouds
Well, I could go on all night, but I want to watch the Sopranos.
