A small local restaurant in the White Mountain area with great service, food, and overall experience! This is where you find the locals, so you know it must be good. Mike's favorite place for breakfast. Across the street from the rocket! Closed on Tuesdays

As you are heading from our place toward Plymouth, look left as you cross the bridge near Shawnee's. One of our favorite swimming holes. (The steel truss bridge is now a Covered Bridge - see below)
Wentworth Village Common
Friendship Bridge
32 Wentworth Village Rd, Wentworth, NH
​
The bridge was originally constructed in 1962 as Goffe's Mill Covered Bridge which connected the Wayfarer Inn to the Convention Center in Bedford, NH. That site closed in 2010 and was slated for demolition. Earlier, the town of Wentworth had condemned an old steel truss foot bridge spanning the Baker River. That bridge had been onsite since its construction in 1909 and the town wanted a solution to the condemned bridge. The Geoff's Mill covered bridge was purchased and reconstructed in Wentworth in 2016 prior to its demolition to span the Baker River as a solution to the condemned steel truss bridge. The bridge was renamed the Friendship Bridge by the Friends of the Wentworth Parks and Recreation non-profit who championed the bridge's relocation and reconstruction. It is pedestrian (foot-traffic) only.

This is the perfect roadside swimming hole. There is a gorgeous waterfall with clear emerald water, and large sloping rocks. The falls are by Route 118, with a parking area on the other side of a small wooden bridge. There are multiple easy paths to water, and even some stone steps. There is swimming under the bridge, but please don’t jump from the bridge. People were jumping off the rocks into a deep clear pool close to the bridge. There are multiple smaller pools and falls before it opens into a medium sized pool, that is fairly shallow. There is a Port-a-Potty available.
​
I like to take a book and folding chair and sit a little bit downstream of this location. Very peaceful place to just relax and listen to the running water.
Appalachian Trail
Wentworth, NH
​
If you've ever wanted to say you hiked part of the Appalachian Trail, this is your opportunity. The trail runs very near the house. I would suggest being dropped off at Cape Moonshine (where it says Atwell Hill Trailhead) and hiking to Route 25 (Red hiker symbol - Appalachian Trailhead) . Bring water and bug spray! Google Maps says it's a 40 min hike.
Plummers Ledge Natural Area
32 Wentworth Village Rd, Wentworth, NH
​
Try this 0.4-mile loop trail near Wentworth, New Hampshire. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 8 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring.
The best place to park is on the start of the Forest Service access road off the right side of Buffalo Road just before the lumber yard. Walk down Buffalo Road towards Wentworth for 200 feet and look for a sign to Plummer’s Ledge on a tree to your right, on the edge of a partly overgrown roadside clearing. The trail head angles to the right about 20 feet to the right of the sign. Not really a hiking trail, more like a crisscross of loose paths from people looking at the glacier artifacts.

The boys did this once and didn't really find much but maybe you will have better luck!
