 There are six National Forest campground sites, along with numerous hiking trails.The Kancamagus Highway opened in August 1959, after two dead-end stretches of road were linked, creating a connection between US 3 in Lincoln and NH 16 in Conway.Locally known as "The Kanc", the road was paved in 1964, and in the winter of 1966–67 it was plowed for the first time.
