Swimming, Canoeing & Fishing in New Hampshire
2000 feet above the Upper Connecticut River Valley is Boulder Beach State Park, where you can enjoy swimming, boating and picnicking along beautiful Lake Groton, VT. The facilities are immaculate and the views are magnificent.
Have you ever wanted to enjoy a water park experience without worrying about the weather? The nearby Upper Valley Aquatic Center combines serious swimming facilities for adults with a state of the art waterpark for kids.
One of our favorite places to go swimming is Treasure Island on nearly Lake Fairlee in Thetford VT. You can rent a boat, fish, and entertain the kids in one location.
Hemlock Pete’s Canoe and Kayak Rentals is only a mile north on Route 10. They will provide everything you need for a day trip down the Connecticut or Ammonoosuc Rivers, or a leisurely paddle on nearby Long Pond in Benton, NH or Lake Tarleton in Piermont, NH.
Fairlee Marine is just south of us on the Vermont side of the Connecticut River. They rent aluminum outboard and pontoon boats, as well as canoes and kayaks. They will deliver your boat to nearly any river or lake in the Upper Valley.
For fishing on the Connecticut River, we recommend Bedell Bridge State Historic Site, ½ mile upstream. You can pick up your New Hampshire fishing license from a local agent.
We recommend beautiful Lake Tarleton and Lake Armington in Piermont, NH for swimming, boating, or fishing.
