    Waterville Valley… where friendliness and love of nature are a way of life.

    Mountains, forest, peace; old friends, a welcoming inn with familiar ways.” A half century ago, Nathaniel Goodrich used those woods to extol the virtues of Waterville Valley, a historic New Hampshire town surrounded by 700,000 acres of National forest. “Superficially it changes, as all things must,” Goodrich wrote. “But basically it remains the same.” These days, Goodrich might be surprised to see Waterville Valley’s nationally ranked tennis courts, summertime skateboard park, year-round ice arena, as well as cultural activities that range from bluegrass festivals and Shakespeare under the stars, etc. Waterville Valley has always been about wholesome, fun activities.

    It’s a unique combination of resort areas, a historic town, and a nature-lover’s paradise with an emphasis on family and community. In the 1800’s, visitors came to the valley by stagecoach to escape the heat of the cities and enjoy an abundance of natural beauty. These days, visitors arrive by vehicles, making their way along the picturesque Mad River. Once you arrive in Waterville Valley you can park your vehicle and enjoy the Town Square “pedestrian-only zone” as most activities are within walking distance or a short ride on a FREE open-air trolley that serves the Valley. All activities in the Valley are in abundance all year-round (sports of every imaginable variety). There is something for everyone from beginners to experts; arts and education programs outdoor theater, gardening and clubs, etc. You will rarely hear the words “I’m bored” in Waterville Valley.

    blair-bridge.jpgBlair Bridge was originally built in 1829, and was destroyed by an arsonist. The present bridge was erected in 1870, and includes one (1) timber from the original bridge. At 292′ 10″, it’s the 2nd longest covered bridge entirely within the boundaries of the state. It has two (2) spans, and is of “long truss with arches” type of construction. The four (4) corners were rebuilt in 1977 by the famous Milton Graton. The Blair Bridge is the last remaining in New Hampshire constructed using Long’s patented truss design.

    camping.jpg
    One of my family’s favorite campgrounds is “Branch Brook” on Route 49 in Campton (10 miles from Franconia Notch). Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautifully located in the White Mountains and surrounded by the Pemigewasset River. However, bringing someone who is afraid of every creepy-crawly insect into the woods to go camping can be dangerous. I’m a city girl - even when I go fishing I have to get someone else to put the worm on my hook. I love BBQ’s, sitting outside watching the sunset, roasting marshmallows over a bomb-fire, etc. but as soon as one bug lands on me (and they always do) I scream like a little girl - lol.
