Hanover is also home to Dartmouth College -- one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution.

Located in the White Mountain National Forest, The Basin, is a series of natural waterslides in the glacial water-eroded granite rocks. In the summer time, this makes for a perfect spot for a dip in the water!

Summit the highest peak in the Northeastern United States via the Mt. Washington Auto Road! Located in the White Mountain National Forest, see the grand sweeping views at the top!

We love going downhill mountain biking at Highland Park! This is a lift-access mountain bike park with downhill trails, skills park, pump track, as well as an indoor training center. Rentals as well as lessons are offered on site.

Plum Island is a barrier island with a long stretch of sandy beach, salt marshes, and winding forest trails. It is a wildlife preserve, so there is little to no construction on the site. While you can park near the visitor center to explore the beach, we love taking the gravel road all the way to the more secluded Sandy Point State Reservation. This was one of the first places we discovered together and love it to this day!

Situated right by Plum Island, this is the perfect little town to grab some lunch and shop at the local boutiques. There is also a seaside walkway that starts at the Waterfront Park which is great for catching a view of the sailboats!
