Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Surrounded on three sides by the White Mountain National Forest, Jackson is a relaxing resort town with plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation all throughout the year. There are hundreds of miles of hiking trails for visitors to explore during the summer, but if you're not interested in hiking, you can cycle along the peaceful back roads, go fishing, or rent a kayak and paddle around one of the local lakes. During the winter, the area turns into a downhill skier's paradise, but other popular winter activities include snowshoeing, ice skating, and taking horse-drawn sleigh rides at Nestlenook Farm.
