New Hampshire residents are a hearty bunch, who like to be prepared for everything, including a zombie apocalypse. Sure, it may seem the stuff of fiction, but you can never be too safe. If the undead return, you’ll be glad you have this list. Here are the 8 best places to hide in New Hampshire in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
- The Isle of Shoals

- The Fort At Number Four
SlabCity Gang/flickr This fort in Charlestown was one of the original settlements in Northern New Hampshire, built to withstand attacks by Native Americans. The tall, pointed fence makes it secure, cleared land makes it easy to spot invaders, and easy access to the Connecticut River provides an ideal escape plan.
- A freshwater island.

- White Mountain National Forest
Sean Munson/flickr New Hampshire’s most popular tourist attraction is also the perfect place to hide from Zombies. The national forest has over 1,000 square miles of untouched wilderness. There are plenty of berries and animals to eat if you’re quick enough, and the freshwater streams in the mountains will mean you never go thirsty.
- Ruggles Mine

- Fort Constitution

- Mount Washington Summit

Unpredictable weather and scarce supplies mean this location would require some planning, but done right it could be great.
- Former Navy Prison

During its hay day, the prison was known as the Alcatraz of the east. Yes, we know that the prison on Portsmouth Harbor is officially in Kittery, Maine, but we promise that in the event of a zombie apocalypse you won’t care.
And from here on out, you’re on your own!
