In New Hampshire, there’s a tendency to visit the Lakes Region and then buzz up to the White Mountains without taking time to pause and appreciate the beautiful towns in between those two vacation meccas. But if you do that you’re missing out! Nestled almost half way between the lakes region and the White Mountains is the town of Tamworth, one of the most beautiful and overlooked towns in New Hampshire. Here’s why you need to visit:
Chocurua Lake

However, take time to explore the surrounding trails to really get a feel for the area. The Chocurua Lake Conservancy does a great job of keeping the profound natural beauty.
