Open the interactive map
New Hampshire is one of those "nature states" of New England. While traces of the past occasionally resurface, such as in Portsmouth, the third-oldest city in the USA, visitors come here primarily for the natural diversity and outdoor activities. Forests, mountains (including the famous White Mountains), lakes, and a small stretch of coastline define this state, where nearly a quarter of the population is of French or Acadian descent.
