The Franconia Notch State Park is located right in the heart of the White Mountain National Forest and beckons visitors with gorgeous scenery and great outdoor recreational activities. You can drive the very scenic Franconia Notch mountain pass for wonderful views and stop at the Flume Gorge Visitor’s Center to walk through the dramatic 70 to 90-foot deep gorge.

You can take a ride on the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway and visit the New England Ski Museum at the base station. Other activities to enjoy in the park include camping (both tents and RV’s are catered for), fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, cycling and hiking in summer, and a full range of snow-sports in winter.
