Lincoln New Hampshire, The second largest town in the state featuring 95% of its land area within the White Mountain National Forest. We have a very small year round population, mostly second homes and retirement properties,this combines to make our property tax bill one of the lowest in the state. Even though the Graduating class is less than 30 students annually our kids are near the top in S.A.T. scores, and athletically find themselves in the state finals for their leagues in Soccer, baseball, softball and of course skiing.
The Town's big Four Features are: Loon Mt, Pemigewasset River, and the Kancamagus Scenic highway and the lowest tax burden in the state.
Loon Mountain Recreation area: The most popular ski resort in the state with 
gross ticket sale exceeding all other resorts in New Hampshire. Five Lodges to choose from, a great mix of beginner to expert trails , snow boarding terrain parks, Night Tubing and one of the countries best Handicapped adaptive ski schools ranked by the professional ski instructors of America. Summer offer: horse back riding, mountain biking,
climbing wall and major state festivals right through the fall (including the Scottish Highland games).
Kancamagus Scenic Highway: This highway has been designated by the Federal 
Government as one of the Most Scenic routes in the Country. From Lincoln New Hampshire to North Conway (shopping Mecca) you travel 35 miles through an unspoiled wilderness area. During your drive you will likely see Moose and bear, or pull over at one of the many scenic vistas created to park and view the mountains. There are several places you can park and swim under waterfalls, but there are no commercial buildings of any kind for gas or food for the entire 35 mile trip.
The Pemigewasset River: Flows through the center of Lincoln and was once used
to transport timber to the paper mills in town. The Mills are gone now replaced by shopping and conveniences, there are a few remnants of an old dam or trestle crossing that make for swimming and floating in the river fun. Add Fishing, Kayaking, biking and hiking in the summer and Cross country skiing along the river in the winter and the water still offers commerce but of a new kind.
Recreation, Attractions, & National Forest stations make the list: 
An absolute slew of outdoor activities can’t be left out of the areas best features. Whales Tale Water Park: One of the largest water parks in the state it’s fast, wet and wild fun for the whole family…adult and kiddie pools and after dark music and libations can be found on summer weekends.
Clark’s Trading Post: One of the only places in the country that you can see a live bear show, or ride a steam locomotive, drive the 
bumper boats, visit the fire truck museum, the Crooked house or be scared by the Wolf-man.
Lost River Caves: Another great place to take the kids pan for gold and explore the many caves and crevasses formed over a million years ago.
The Flume state Park: Hike through the covered bridge, and walk the intricate board walk cut into a series of chasms with falling waters and breathe taking views at every turn. 
Jack O’Lantern Golf course: Fifty years of family tradition along the Pemi River, 18 holes of golf with all the amenities you would expect…pro-shop, restaurant, lounge and a great round of golf.

Hi Steve - Great shots of all of the outdoor activities in Lincoln. This would be a good post to include in an online relocation packet.
Bill...You got that right.
John, I think the Chamber of commerce should get this.
Steve.. Did you ever take your son panning for gold in those caves?
Val, they seed the sand with colored rocks It is so cool for the little kids to find what they think are "jewels".
great photos; what God has made man can only adimire and stand in awe of.
the covered bridge, rocky gorge, and sabaday falls are my favorites.
we sprinkled my mother-in-laws ashes from the bridge at sabaday falls, feel free to say hi to nat next time you're there.
i tried to explain to someone once what the flume was like, i think the words didn't do it justice, but my passion did.
facebook reminded me that i hadn't visited your blog recently. it works.
Great post Steve, and I'm glad you shared some summer photos for those of us not so fond of winter! What a lovely place!
Jay, I will do that and sent her your regards, you picked a nice spot for your mother in law to rest and keep an eye on the nature around there.
