How Do You Find A Swimming Hole In The White Mountains?
The White Mountains of New Hampshire offer something for everyone regardless of the season. There’s skiing in the winter, foliage in the fall, and a veritable smorgasborg of activities in the spring and summer, including hiking, biking, camping and swimming. But some of the best swimming holes are a little off the beaten path–just the way the locals like it. Read on to learn more. Hike to the Franconia Falls swimming hole on Franconia Brook in Lincoln, New Hampshire. The three-mile hike is pretty easy given that it follows now-defunct railroad tracks over flat terrain. Call ahead to (603) 536-1315 or visit the Lincoln Woods Visitor Center from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to get a day-use permit. They go fast, so get yours early. While you’re at it, make sure you get directions. Bring younger children to Lower Falls, which is very safe for children. It offers easy access, and there are no big drops.
