What to Do
The Northern Gateway Region is far removed from the sleepy, postcard stereotype of 19th Century New England.
The area has a wonderful athletic energy, and the outdoor enthusiast can take advantage of backpacking, kayaking, fishing, letterboxing, hiking, biking; and numerous winter sports, including skiing, snowshoeing, hunting guides, and ATV riding. Quieter activities such as foliage tours, fairs, and music festivals, and maple sugaring abound. An extraordinary experience is limited only by the traveler’s imagination!
The beauty of the region lies not only in its scenic grandeur, but also in its close proximity to fine dining and entertainment, both of which offer a perfect marriage of classic rural charm with a sense of modern progression and effervescence!
