The Great North Woods of New Hampshire

By Jim on December 16th, 2007

I stumbled on this site while googling stuff this morning. There’s some interesting information on it about New Hampshire’s north country.

The Great North Woods is more than just a place name. It’s an attitude, a state of mind, an area of New Hampshire where the land defines the people: tough, self-reliant, independent, flinty, sparse; hard working.

Millsfield CascadeFor legions of visitors, the region is one of unparalleled beauty and open access (the region boasts more miles of snowmachine trails than state highways).

Many of its best places remain remote and untrammeled by crowds, areas where effort and knowledge are rewarded with priceless experiences whether your passion is rock or ice climbing, fly-fishing, back-country camping, fine dining, boating, hiking or bird watching; snowmobiling or just moseying in small shops and eavesdropping on authentic Yankee dialect.

I don’t get up there nearly enough, I wish southern NH would be more like northern NH. Unfortunately the influx of massholes has had a negative effect on the southern part of the state but at least we have the northern part of NH as a strong foothold to try to preserve liberty in New Hampshire.
