Merrimack County, New Hampshire
Merrimack County sits right in the heart of New Hampshire, stretching from the capital city of Concord to the Lakes Region. The State House dome dominates Concord’s skyline, but drive a few miles and you’re in farm country.
Locals take pride in their maple syrup and apple orchards. The Merrimack River winds its way through with great spots for kayaking and fishing. You’ll find some of the state’s best hiking in the Bear Brook State Park.
Canterbury Shaker Village highlights its simpler past. It’s not all rural though. Towns like Hooksett are growing fast. Finally, the New Hampshire Motor Speedway brings NASCAR fans from all over.
