Ditch The Winter Blues At These 6 New Hampshire Oases
In the summer, everyone in New Hampshire loves to swim. We’ll take any excuse to jump in the nearest ocean, lake or stream. But once the snow flies, our swimming opportunities are curtailed. While indoor pools are great, they just aren’t the same as swimming in the great outdoors. However, there are some places in New Hampshire where you can swim outside year-round for a truly unforgettable winter getaway.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
