Park

Echo Lake State Park. You don't have to be a rock climber to enjoy the views from the 700-foot White Horse and Cathedral ledges, which you can reach via a 1.7-mile road. From the top, you'll see the entire valley, including Echo Lake, which offers fishing, swimming, boating, and, on quiet days, an excellent opportunity to shout for echoes. 68 Echo Lake Rd., Conway, New Hampshire, 03818. 603/356–2672; www.nhstateparks.org. $4 mid-May–mid-Oct.. Memorial Day–mid-Oct., daily 9–sunset.
