What to do (apart from the wedding).

North Conway is a year-round tourist destination with fun activities for everyone! From spending time in nature with hiking, biking, and river adventures, to enjoying theme parks, shopping, and even local theater, there’s something for every interest. These highlights are just the beginning — there’s so much more to explore! If you’re looking for recommendations, we’d be happy to help.

  • Echo Lake State Park

    Great for swimming, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the lake under mountain cliffs — perfect for a warm July day.

    There’s also a short, easy walk around the lake and nearby scenic overlooks if you want a dose of nature without a strenuous hike.

  • Diana’s Baths

    A quick, mostly-easy ~0.6-1.3 mile hike leads to small waterfalls and natural swimming pools — a refreshing spot to cool off on a hot summer afternoon.

    A nice choice if you want something scenic and outdoorsy, but not strenuous — ideal for families or if you want a relaxing, water-based outing.

  • Cranmore Mountain Resort

    In summer, Cranmore switches from ski slopes to fun summer activities — think mountain biking, scenic chairlift rides, zip-lining, and a mountain coaster.

    It’s a great pick if you’re into a bit of adventure and want more excitement than a simple hike or swim.

  • Saco River — River Tubing / Kayaking

    Floating down the river — tubing, kayaking, or paddle-boarding — is a classic summer-time way to chill out, cool off, and enjoy scenic forested views.

    It’s fun for most ages and offers a relaxing contrast to hiking or more active adventures

  • Settlers Green Outlet Village (Shopping & Browsing)

    If you want a break from outdoor adventure, Settlers Green offers plenty of shopping — from outdoor gear to clothes, souvenirs, and more — all tax-free.

    It’s an easy, low-effort option when you want to browse, grab a bite, or pick up supplies before/after outdoor outings

  • Story Land

    A family-friendly theme park featuring rides, shows, and fairytale-themed attractions designed for younger kids. July is prime season, with warm weather making water rides especially fun.

  • Franconia Notch

    Franconia Notch is a stunning mountain pass in the heart of the White Mountains, offering breathtaking views, scenic trails, and iconic natural landmarks. The surrounding New Hampshire 4,000-footers, or “4Ks,” challenge hikers with rewarding climbs and panoramic vistas, making the region a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.

  • Mount Washington Cog Railway

    The Mount Washington Cog Railway offers a historic and scenic ride to the summit of Mount Washington, the tallest peak in the Northeastern U.S. Passengers climb aboard a vintage-style rail car that slowly ascends the steep mountainside, providing incredible views of the White Mountains along the way.
