Discover Lakes and Mountains

New England’s lakes and mountains offer a peaceful, scenic retreat where travelers can slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the outdoors in comfort. From Maine’s quiet lake country to the sweeping peaks of New Hampshire and Vermont, this region is made for unwinding amid natural beauty.

In Maine, spots like Moosehead Lake and the Belgrade Lakes feel wonderfully untouched. Cozy lodges, calm mornings on the water, guided paddles, and wildlife sightings create an easy rhythm that feels both refreshing and restorative.

New Hampshire’s White Mountains add a dramatic change of pace. Travelers can ride gondolas to panoramic viewpoints, explore scenic byways, or choose from gentle walks to more adventurous hikes. Lakes like Winnipesaukee and Squam offer perfect places for boat rides, swimming, and sunset views.

In Vermont, the Green Mountains pair rolling hills with peaceful lakes and charming small towns. Visitors can enjoy farm-to-table meals, paddle across calm water, or settle into a mountainside inn surrounded by forest and fresh mountain air.

This kind of escape is all about simple pleasures: sipping coffee by the water, strolling through a mountain village, watching the sun dip behind the peaks. The landscapes do the work — all you have to do is enjoy them.
