Offering a wealth of outdoors wonders both in winter and summer, the White Mountains are a thrill for all seasons.

This scenic overlook was in the White Mountains National Forest, on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway (NH 112), a short drive from Lincoln. Designated parking required proof of having paid a day use fee. Engaging displays interpreted local history and ecology; I only wished they’d been in better condition. Clean rest facilities were onsite. For mountain scenery, with views to the west and the south, there may be no better stop on the Byway.

A cute covered bridge, in need of a paint job, which oddly enough, gives it the old timey feel. Walking only. Closed to car traffic. A train engine/caboose nearby that you’re able to climb upon. A bench nearby the water allows you to take in the scenery

Fun walk across the river - perfect for photos north and south or a romantic kiss beneath the rafters.

A Welcome Wave. Arms flung wide. Pollyanna of Littleton - New Hampshire's most welcoming attraction is the centerpiece of historic downtown as an ambassador of cheer and community spirit for residents and visitors alike. Littleton's jubilant bronze sculpture tributes hometown author, Eleanor H. Porter (1868 – 1920) best remembered as the creator of the world's most optimistic character, Pollyanna, 1913. Eleanor Hodgman Porter’s early residence was in Littleton, and not so far from the Library front lawn…where fittingly Pollyanna, Littleton’s sculpture presides in an artistic and symbolic place “welcoming residents and visitors.” POLLYANNA is welcoming...the open-air Fine Art Sculpture in her energetic pose, popular with photographers, is cheerful and inviting for families, groups and individuals. One's own welcoming Wave and full smile, chin-up -- matching Pollyanna -- makes a great "selfie'.
The theme of Pollyanna has been carried throughout Littleton...it's a spirit that unites the entire town and trickles down to the folks that visit there...you will leave with a smile on your face!

One of the top 10 covered bridges in NH called "the most cursed bridge", which is very near Exit 27 of I-93 in Town of Campton. "The first bridge at this location was built in 1829 at a cost of $1,000. That bridge was burned down by a man named Lem Parker who claimed that God told him to do it. Parker was taken to court and confessed to the charges. However, he was found not guilty because there were no witnesses. The construction of the current bridge was brought about when a doctor trying to ford the river on horseback found the current too strong. The horse drowned, but the doctor was saved. The town voted to build a bridge immediately. A sign was posted on the bridge indicating there was a fine of five dollars for riding or driving on the bridge faster than five miles per hour. It was rebuilt by Milton Graton and his son Arnold in 1977 at a cost of $59,379. The town of Campton and the state shared the cost of the repair. The Blair Bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places." However, what the most fantastic is the view seen from under the bridge! After parking our car on a lot near the bridge, we took the path down to the river and was stunned by the view from the upper stream of the river! Oh, that's Mount Washington of the White Mountain. We could not even believe our eyes. The great and blue mountains are fantastic and one will surely miss the view if he/she just drives through the bridge without going down to the river. The Pemigewasset River was not deep at this season and the water is clear indeed. We stayed there for quite a while taking pictures, walking in the river, sitting on the rocks enjoying the view and imaging the views in autumn with gorgeous foliage around or in spring when the river full of melt snow with a distant view of the snow-capped White Mountains. Of course, we will visit it again when those seasons come and will have a cup of beer by the river in the Covered Bridge Farm Table when the pandemic is gone! And we also visited Campton town, only three miles away, a beautiful town which is worth visiting at any time of the year.
