Lakes and Mountains Region

It is also the home to outstanding recreational pursuits. Enjoy all types of water sports on the region's lakes and rivers; cycle, hike, camp, golf, alpine and nordic ski and snowmobile in the mountains. Watch for spectacular wildlife including loons and moose. Linger awhile in quaint New England villages. Visit local artisans and museums. Attend country fairs and celebrations.
