I lived in Holderness Throughout my Days as a student at Plymouth State University and enjoyed many lazy days of summer boating and climbing Rattlesnake Mountain Pictured above. The Science center is well worth the trip or a day on the lake is always fun, with a couple of public boat ramps near by and easily accessable.
