Families Flock to the Loon Mountain Area for its Unbeatable Year-Round Activities

Although its location within the spectacular White Mountains means it is popular with recreational enthusiasts of every variety, the Loon Mountain Area is actually one region the whole family can enjoy together.

At the center of all the excitement is, of course, the Loon Mountain Resort in Lincoln. While the 45 downhill trails and the excitement of the Loon Mountain Park (complete with a Superpipe) are enough to draw skiers and snowboarders from all over, the cross-country skiing, ice skating, and snowshoeing possibilities of the Loon Adventure Center mean this resort is just right for every member of your family.

However, winter isn’t the only time when families can enjoy the beauty and adventures of the Loon Mountain Area. North Woodstock condo rentals are perfect for warm weather getaways since they are convenient to both the Lost River Reservation (aka Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves) and Clark’s Trading Post, which boast hours of family amusement with an added touch of history and breathtaking natural features.

While these attractions offer a day of leisure, the great outdoors beckon with exciting pursuits that require a bit more exertion but are well worth the effort for the spectacular scenery and views. For the most activities in the heart of the White Mountain National Forest, head to Franconia Notch State Park and visit the beautiful Flume Gorge, hike along the Appalachian Trail, swim at Echo Lake, or explore the area around The Basin.

If these activities are a bit too vigorous for your family vacation, then consider a picture perfect drive on the Kancamagus Highway or a ride on the Cannon Mountain aerial tramway to catch all of the best sights without a care or concern. And for those times when you want the relaxation of an adult-oriented activity, the Jack O’Lantern Golf Course in Woodstock is standing nearby to offer you the mini retreat you always wanted.
