    Where Can I Park to Hike in Franconia Notch? Increasing Use Of

    Where Can I Park to Hike in Franconia Notch? Increasing use of trails and growing numbers of visitors in the White Mountains region can make it a challenge to find a place to park in designated parking areas, particularly within Franconia Notch State Park. The State of New Hampshire is reminding visitors that parking along the Franconia Notch Parkway/Interstate 93 is prohibited. Here are parking tips to consider when planning your hike within the park.

  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains

    Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains

    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

  • The Pemigewasset River

    The Pemigewasset River

    WD-R&L-9 2012 The Pemigewasset River The Pemigewasset River's headwaters are in Profile Lake in New Hampshire’s Franconia Notch State Park, at the base of the famed Old Man of the Mountain. The river cascades through the park where crystal clear waterfalls and elevation drops, such as the Flume and the Basin attract thousands of visitors each year. The river eventually widens as it moves southerly along its approximately 70 mile route to its confluence in Franklin with the Winnipesaukee River thereby forming the Merrimack River. The entire river, except a 10- mile segment through Lincoln and Woodstock, is protected under the New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program as of June 1991. The watershed drains approximately 1,000 square miles. As the majority of the river’s corridor is undeveloped, the natural resources of the area and river are of especially high quality. Due to these exemplary natural resources, the river was found eligible for inclusion in the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Program. Geology The southern Pemigewasset River valley was once part of the great glacial Lake Merrimack extending north to Plymouth from Manchester. Much of the remains of that glacial lake can be found today along the Pemigewasset River. Dunes, deltas and terraces from the glacier have left sand deposits, sometimes reaching 100 feet deep, in the valley. The glacier left large outcroppings, basins, and erratics (glacial boulders), throughout the northern Pemigewasset River Valley. Gorges, characterizing the river’s name, which by Abenaki definition means “narrow and shallow swift current,” are prevalent in northern reaches as well.
