I'm not sure if it's still there, but there used to be a great rope swing in Meredith Bay. If you were looking at Meredith Marina, it was to the left along the train tracks. You used to be able to swing from a platform up by the tracks and swing waaaaay out over the water.

I remember this rope swing (and the subsequent trip to Lakes Region General Hospital) very well, after my hands slipped down the rope and I landed in a foot of water two feet from the shoreline, hyperextending my knee. My PARENTS remember the bill from Winchester Hospital when a year later I had to have surgery to have the busted pieces of cartilage removed.

In any case, it was a great ropeswing. But now I'll stick to bridge jumping in Tilton. The water's plenty deep there.
