There is also a treasure trove of quaint mountain towns to explore, dotted with covered bridges and storied streets lined with historic buildings. Ranking in the Top 10 on USA Today's Reader's Choice Awards list for "Best Small Town for Adventure" in 2020, the historic town of North Conway is one of New Hampshire's most beloved destinations.

Though you'll find plenty to experience without leaving the resort, there's even more to discover in the surrounding area.
