Franconia Notch State Park

One of the best state parks you will ever visit. Trails are very well maintained. The visitor center, though not huge or elaborate, is very nice, clean, and informative, even with a food area and gift shop. There is sufficient parking close to the visitor center. Excellent public state park. Well done. Beautiful views, scenery, and nature.

My Fiance and I got to visit the Cannon Aerial Tramway a couple of weeks before it closed to build a new tramway and if I must say the views on the mountain tops are just astonishing, he proposed to me in the mountains so it was already beautiful there but that moment just made it even more magical! If you're coming to New Hampshire in the future you have to check this place out and make your own memories, its just beautiful!

We had a great visit to the summit of Cannon Mountain on the Aerial Tramway. The operator gave an interesting commentary on the way up. The views were amazing and we were very lucky with the weather. Highly recommend the short loop trail at the top and visit to the tower. Please note this facility we be closing on 26th October 2025 as they are replacing the cable cars. The guide said it may take up to 2 years.

We went to the park a week after peak foliage season. Traffic wasn't horrific, and the view kayaking on echo lake was the best. We also hiked to Lonesome lake, and watched the sunrise over the mountains from Polly's Pancake Parlor.

Beware the rapid weather changes and bring hiking essentials! Beautiful, but many hikes can be tougher than you might realize. Check your maps so you don't end up halfway up the wrong trail

This is an absolute gem! Such a gorgeous park. Lots of hiking. Tons of waterfalls. Mountain views. At times you feel like you’re out west! Less crowds. I mean, things can get crowded but nothing like other area I’ve been to.

Spectacular views of the mountains and lakes. Ride the tram to the top and dress warm. When it was 65 in the ground it Was 42 at the top. There are about 50 big stone steps to the actual summit but what a view. A walking stick would be helpful.

Such a wonderful park with amazing trails ! I did the Franconia Ridge loop and it was an amazing experience! The hard walk to the top was def worth the ridge views ! Magical ! I also did the Flume which was a nice easy walk with such beauty !
