Just 1.5 Hours From Manchester, Sugar Hill Is The Perfect New Hampshire Day Trip Destination
Leaving early in the morning for a day full of adventure, you can enjoy a little bit of everything that small town Sugar Hill has to offer. Add this day trip to your bucket list if you’ve never explored this town for yourself. After these stops, you might just find another favorite place to add to your future road trip ideas. If you want to travel on a Friday or Saturday, this trip is a great place to start when it comes to planning adventures.
Sugar Hill is a small town with a population around 650, but you wouldn't think so from all the friendly faces you'll see out and about. For a day trip, this one's full of delicious food and new adventures.
First, you'll want to head over to Polly's Pancake Bar, where breakfast and brunch (the most important meals of the day) are served from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. to fuel yourself up. Good fuel keeps you going!
Next up on the to-do list is the Sugar Hill Historical Museum, open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, perfect timing to absorb some local history after you're fed. Who doesn't like cheese?
Other local shops and adventures are easy to add onto your trip, including Harman's Cheese & Country Store or the Sugar Hill Sampler. Supporting small towns and local businesses is an important part of travel, after all.
Of course, the area is also known for being beautiful in any season. The sugar maples that this town is named after are a big part of the colors you can see in the fall, but make syrup you'll love to taste the sweetness in. If you have time for hiking trails while you visit, it's well worth the extra legwork to explore the natural beauty here.
Though it's a bit of a drive, the beauty and small town friendliness of Sugar Hill is an easy drive when you have this much fun planned out ahead of time. Come by, see the sugar maples, and have a little adventure of your own sometime.
