You have to love the outdoor activities when living in a beautiful place like New Hampshire, and fishing is one of the best ways to relax and take in the scenic beauty of our area.
Our real estate agents love to fish around the White Mountains, and thanks to the abundance of fresh water, it's actually considered one of the best places for trout fishing in the US. There are truly dozens of great fishing spots around the White Mountains. If you're looking to cast a line this summer, then go ahead and pack a cooler, grab your pole, and head out to one...
Northern New Hampshire has an amazing recreational resource that you may not know about called the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail. The reclaimed rail line is now a multi-use trail that is about 20 miles one way between Woodsville and Littleton, NH. The trail's surface is stone dust and gravel with occasional sections of chunkier ballast from the now removed train tracks. It's a beautiful scenic route passing through woods, alongside fields, over multiple bridges and repeated views of the Ammonoosuc River. ![]() |

The trout were caught by our President of the Ammonoosuc Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Boy, can he fish, I never knew the trout could grow to that size.

If you are a fisherman, or think you might like to fish here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, you should consider joining us! We have a ball! Oh, by the way, I did catch something of my own, a frog by the leg, a first for the pond! New members are...
