In the winter, it’s all about skiing.  We offer ski & stay packages with Pats Peak – see specials tab for more.  For a little variety, we’re only about 20 miles from Mount Sunapee and Crotched Mountain.

CROSS COUNTRY
For the Free Heelers (Nordic) enthusiasts, there are trails along the river or in several of the state parks. Pine Hill Ski Club maintains cross country trails in New London.

KAYAK & TUBING
In the spring and early summer the flow on the Contoocook attracts some skilled kayakers.  Bring your own or visit the nearest canoe/kayak rental in Concord.  Further down river you’ll find quieter paddling.

FISHING
Rivers were made for fishing; bring your own gear or have our favorite guides teach you to fly fish in back of Henniker House. “The Contoocook is one of the prettiest rivers in New Hampshire.” In the wintertime, ice fishing is a popular activity on our nearby ponds and lakes. Ask about a 1/2 day excursion with one of our local experts.
