"Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee
A Land of Learning
This region is widely known for the plethora of colleges and academies that dot, and in some cases dominate, the landscape. Dartmouth College (which the region is named after) is in Hanover and Proctor Academy is in Andover, while Colby-Sawer College is in New London.
Great North Woods
Rugged Beauty
Nowhere do New Hampshire’s forests dominate the landscape as they do in the Great North Woods. The region is unique in other ways, too. Close proximity to Canada’s Province of Quebec, as well as the Maine and Vermont borders, has resulted in a mix of cultures and outlooks.
Lakes
Excitement and Relaxation Meet in the Lakes Region
The Lakes Region is a haven for vacationers and lovers of the water. Of course, there are 273 lakes to choose from, ensuring plenty of room for everyone to have a great time. Swimming, boating, fishing and even water parks are all available for your enjoyment. There are also a plethora of shops and attractions, so you don't have to spend your entire vacation in the water!
Merrimack Valley
As Diverse as its People
The Merrimack Valley Region is the major center for government and business in the state. Its three largest cities are Concord, the capital; Manchester, the state’s financial center and home of the state’s largest airport; and Nashua, which was cited in 1997 and 1987 as the best place to live in the U.S. by Money magazine.
Monadnock
Quintessential ‘New England.’
The Monadnock Region seems, at first glance, to be the most purely 'New England' region in the state. With its quaint villages, rolling farmlands and lush greenery, this is the chance for visitors to see the way New England was in generations past.

Seacoast
Where New Hampshire Began
New Hampshire began on the Seacoast, and the region continues to thrive today. There are beautiful beaches and parks, and more than a little history to seek out in this area of the state.
White Mountains
Life Among the Mountains
The White Mountains Region is, as its name suggests, by far the most mountainous area of the state. The Presidential Range looms over the towns and forests, and is home to Mt. Washington, the highest point in the Northeast. It is a must-experience for tourists, climbers, hikers and skiers. Also, there are many shops and quaint inns and B&Bs for those who aren't quite as adventurous."
