Covered Bridge Campground – Area Recreation & Activities

The adjacent Kancamagus Highway, referred to locally as “the Kanc,” is a National Scenic Byway that offers some of the best fall foliage viewing in New England. The 26.5-mile road connects the towns of Lincoln to the west and Conway to the east, and takes about one hour to drive from end to end.

Other activities include hiking, mountain biking, fishing and picnicking. Wildlife viewing is also good with opportunities to see moose, white-tailed deer and black bear. Almost 200 species of birds, including the rare Bicknell’s Thrush, live in the forest.

Blackberry Crossing campground is also nearby.
