Welcome to Great North Woods

Great doesn’t even begin to describe this gorgeous area of New Hampshire. Located halfway between the equator and the North Pole, the Great North Woods offers picturesque beauty like the splendor of Thirteen Mile Woods. Watch your head as you explore Coos County’s eight covered bridges, most of them spanning the mighty Connecticut River. Stay on the area’s many rivers to see some its spectacular, babbling waterfalls like Garfield Falls or the 100-foot high Huntington Cascades. Winter in the Great North Woods is just as spectacular at the Bretton Woods Nordic Center, one of the largest of its kind in New England. With its 100 kilometers of trail, you can ski or snowshoe your way across the snowy landscape. Come see for yourself what makes the Great North Woods so great!
