Just being in New Hampshire offers relief from the regular stresses of every day. But while we’re always grateful to be here, it’s still possible to feel some anxiety. Especially right now. Luckily there’s always a way out of that! It just takes a bit of an adventurous spirit and remembering that we have access to some wonderful things right here at home. The next time you need some inspiration, pull up this list and start planning.
- Little White Church, Eaton Center
Paul Klenk / Google To get away for a bit and feel some spirituality head to Eaton Center for a visit to the Little White Church. This cutie has been nestled in the trees at the banks of Crystal Lake since 1879 when the local Freewill Baptists created the plans and constructed it.

- Newfound Lake, Grafton County
management / TripAdvisor Named the clearest lake in the state, this beauty will also do a great job of clearing your head. At 2.5 by 6 miles, it’s one of the largest in the state which means plenty of areas for quiet. Its clean nature is said to come from the fact that it’s 183-feet deep at its deepest point. You can learn more about it here..
- The Pinnacle Trail, Hooksett
Anna Engracia / alltrails.com There may not be a more lovely, short and sweet trail than this 1-mile beauty that leads through the trees and straight to a lovely summit view of the town. The elevation gain is minimal, making this a bit more of a head-clearing walk. You can check it out here..
- Diana’s Baths, North Conway
William T / TripAdvisor It’s no secret that Diana’s Baths is worth every mile it takes to reach it, but consider checking it out during the off-season for a truly memorable experience. You’re likely to find it less crowded and if it’s covered in snow, the surroundings will be as peaceful as can be. You can learn more about visiting here..
- The Harrisville Historic District, Cheshire County

- The Tuckerman Ravine Trail, Mt. Washington
ignesh Radhakrishnan / alltrails.com This simple trail is about .8-miles and leads to Crystal Cascades, one of our most favorite waterfalls.
