Kancamagus - Swift River fun



There are lots of places to stop on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway which is located in the heart of the White Mountains between Lincoln, NH and Conway, NH.

Rocky Gorge and Lower Falls are two VERY popular public places to stop to enjoy a picnic lunch take some pictures and to get wet! They have facilities (e.g., out houses) on site. These places are also VERY crowded during a hot summer day as well and charge a nominal fee.

There are several campgrounds that in the White Mountain National Park. We stayed at Jigger Johnston back in 2007. Very very natural and beautiful. Also several hiking trails are along the way. Someday I hike the somewhat easy Sabbaday Falls trail again.

This past 4th of July we stopped at a location off the side of the road of the Swift River. We trekked through the woods and did some lunching, tubing, and relaxing on the Swift River.

Awesome! We were up on the Kanc this past 4th of July also. Camping on Tripoli Rd all weekend, we made a day trip to the Lower Falls and stopped in at Sabbaday as well as Rocky Gorge.

Small World! We actually wish we went on July 5th because it was a much sunnier day. We stayed in one of the freebie locations the entire day. Thanks for the comment!
