Lake Massabesic

Spanning across more than 2500 acres (1011 hectares), Lake Massabesic is nature's gift to the cities of Auburn and Manchester. Surrounded by pristine, green landscapes, this lake is at its picturesque best during the on-set of Autumn. A number of leisure activities like boating, kayaking and sailing are allowed at the lake. Swimming and fishing can also be carried out. For outdoor enthusiasts, Lake Massabesic and its environs are perfect for a hike as there are numerous trails running across the region. Lake Massabesic is also the major source of water supply for both the cities it calls home.

Bear Brook State Park

One of the largest in New Hampshire, this sprawling state park boasts a vivid tapestry of bogs, marshes and drapes of charming, forested expanses. A wonderland for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians, this 10,000-acre (4046-hectare) park is delightfully cleaved by winding, crisscrossing trails. Home to campgrounds (of which the Bear Brook Camp is part of the National Register of Historic Places) and spaces for archery, the park is traversed by a meandering stream called Bear Brook. The park also harbors a stunning museum ensemble which includes the New Hampshire Antique Snowmobile Museum, Old Allenstown Meeting House, and the Richard Diehl Civilian Conservation Corps Museum. This expanse of wooded wilderness is the crown jewel of New Hampshire.
