What are the best outdoor activities in winter in New Hampshire:
It's not all just ice castles in NH in the wintertime. There are some other great outdoor activities in New Hampshire:
White Mountain National Forest: It can be argued that any time of year is a great time to visit the White Mountains, but hear me out about the winter. From snowshoeing trails to skiing at Cranmore or Cannon to taking the cog railway to the summit with a snow-covered backdrop, you’ll want to make sure you get to this region during the winter months.
Conway Scenic Railroad: Okay okay, maybe I have a thing for trains in the winter. But if you want to take in another winter train, head to the Conway Scenic Railroad in North Conway. From here, you can take a 90-minute train to the Attitash Mountain Resort. Order some snacks while you watch the snowy landscape pass by out the windows.

Bragdon Farm: Formerly a ski area, this spot in Amherst has a pretty long run. This means that there are some very steep and some pretty tame hills that you can traverse. It’s a nice way to mix up your sledding experience and my favorite way to do it!
Alexander-Carr Park: Located in Derry, this sledding hill is loads of fun. And best of all, this spot also has a concession stand as well as an indoor TV room with chairs and tables. You can also rent snowshoes from here!
