The Town of Lincoln, New Hampshire


Lincoln, New Hampshire is the second largest town in the state, featuring 95% of its land area within the White Mountain National Forest.

We have a very small year-round population, mostly second homes and retirement properties. This combines to make our property tax bill one of the lowest in the state. Even though the graduating class is less than 30 students annually, our kids are near the top in S.A.T. scores and athletically find themselves in the state finals for their leagues in soccer, baseball, softball and, of course, skiing.

The town's big four features are: Loon Mt, Pemigewasset River, and the Kancamagus Scenic highway and the lowest tax burden in the state.

Loon Mountain Recreation Area: The most popular ski resort in the state with gross ticket sale exceeding all other resorts in New Hampshire. Five lodges to choose from, a great mix of beginner to expert trails, snowboard terrain parks, night tubing and one of the country's best handicapped adaptive ski schools ranked by the professional ski instructors of America. Summer offer: horseback riding, mountain biking, climbing wall and major state festivals right through the fall (including the Scottish Highland Games).

Kancamagus Scenic Highway: This highway has been designated by the Federal Government as one of the Most Scenic Routes in the Country. From Lincoln, New Hampshire to North Conway (shopping mecca) you travel 35 miles through an unspoiled wilderness area. During your drive you will likely see moose and bear, or pull over at one of the many scenic vistas created to park and view the mountains. There are several places you can park and swim under waterfalls, but there are no commercial buildings of any kind for gas or food for the entire 35 mile trip.

The Pemigewasset River: This river flows through the center of Lincoln and was once used to transport timber to the paper mills in town. The mills are gone now - replaced by shopping and conveniences. There are a few remnants of an old dam or trestle crossing that make for swimming and floating in the river fun. Add fishing, kayaking, biking and hiking in the summer and cross country skiing along the river in the winter and the water still offers commerce but of a new kind.

Recreation, Attractions, & National Forest Stations make the list:

An absolute slew of outdoor activities can’t be left out of the area's best features.

Whales Tale Water Park: One of the largest water parks in the state. It’s fast, wet and wild fun for the whole family. Adult and kiddie pools, after dark music and libations - all can be found on summer weekends.

Clark’s Trading Post: One of the only places in the country where you can see a live bear show. Ride a steam locomotive, drive bumper boats, visit the fire truck museum, the crooked house or be scared by the Wolf-Man.

Lost River Caves: Another great place to take the kids. Pan for gold and explore the many caves and crevasses formed over a million years ago.

The Flume State Park: Hike through the covered bridge, and walk the intricate boardwalk cut into a series of chasms with falling waters and breathe, taking views at every turn.

Jack O’Lantern Golf Course: Fifty years of family tradition along the Pemi River, 18 holes of golf with all the amenities you would expect - pro-shop, restaurant, lounge and a great round of golf.

There are many types of properties to choose from as well. Slopeside new construction homes, condominiums that are river side, ski side and golf side, or undeveloped land for your future plans. Lincoln is a great place to live and recreate, retire or start a business. Give Alpine Lakes a call for all your White Mountain real estate needs.
