Travel Newsletter September 2009

September 2009 Lakeside Promise Newsletter NH Vacation Rental on Sunrise Lake, Middleton NH - Robin Clapp (508) 622-1464 Welcome to our September 2009 travel newsletter written exclusively for our vacation rental guests traveling to the New Hampshire lakes region. If you are looking for a place to stay in the lakes region of New Hampshire, please take a look at our beautiful lakeside home. Hiking Mount Major We had the opportunity to hike Mount Major on Father's Day this past June and recommend it as an excellent hike for all ages. Mount Major is 1786 feet at its summit, with gorgeous views of Lake Winnipesaukee and Belknap Range. Its an amazing view for only a 1.5 hour hike up, 3 hour round trip. The trailhead is located southwest of Route 11 between Laconia and Alton Bay (43.5193N 71.2738W (WG584)). As we descended the mountain we could hear the roar of motorcycles making their way around the lake on this last day of Laconia Bike Week 2009. Two groups stayed at Lakeside Promise during Bike Week and enjoyed the peaceful location and convenient access to Laconia. If you are interested in the dates for next year, get more information at www.LaconiaMCWeek.com. Halloween at Gunstock Mountain Are you a Halloween junkie? Gunstock Mountain morphs into Morbid Mountain Fridays and Saturdays during the month of October. Are you interested in a "Swamp Walk," "The Hospital of Horrors," "Nightmare Knoll," and "Carnival of Corpses" complete with legends to scare anyone interested in hallowed hayrides or mazes? Visit www.morbidmountain.com or call 603.293-4341 Ext.120 for more information. Fryeburg Fair For an authentic New England country fair, colorful foliage, and crisp Autumn air, head on over to the Fryeburg Fair in Fryeburg, Maine. Located just over the border from Conway, NH, the Fryeburg Fair is an annual favorite for fairgoers.
