The word “quaint” is a common descriptor for many of New Hampshire’s small towns, but how about “enchanting”? Images probably come to mind of rolling hills, mountain vistas, and cozy homes. If all of that and more sounds like a place you want to visit welcome to Sugar Hill, the most beautiful and enchanting town in New Hampshire.

Sugar Hill lies in Grafton County and was incorporated in 1962 after it was split off from the town of Lisbon. This late incorporation date makes it the youngest town in the state.

The town's name is derived from the large population of sugar maple trees within its limits.
As its name would suggest, Sugar Hill sits at a high elevation (1,325 feet) above sea level. Its lofty location affords spectacular views over the White Mountain National Forest.

The vistas include the Presidential, Franconia, and Kinsman mountain ranges.
Late autumn and inter are probably the best times to enjoy the grand landscape views from Sugar Hill. The clear mountain air makes it seem as though you can reach out and touch Mt. Washington.
