Lincoln/North Woodstock

These two neighboring towns at the southwestern end of the White Mountains National Forest and one end of the Kancamagus Highway (Route 112), are a lively resort area, especially for Bostonian families who can make an easy day trip straight up Interstate 93 to Exit 32. Festivals, such as the New Hampshire Scottish Highland Games in mid-September, keep Lincoln swarming with people year-round. The town itself is not much of an attraction. Tiny North Woodstock maintains more of a village feel.
