Foss Mountain in Eaton, New Hampshire, 3 miles west of the Maine state line, affords one of the finest panoramas for the effort anywhere in New England. The 1,300-acre Purity Spring Resort is built around Purity Lake, 100 acres of clear, clean mountain water, so good that it was once bottled and sold. Abutting the resort is the Hoyt Wildlife Sanctuary, donated by the Hoyt family to New Hampshire Audubon in the 1950s. Investigate the mind-blowing Madison Boulder, the largest known glacial erratic in North America. At Tin Mountain Conservation Center in Albany, 6 miles of trails emanate from the Nature Learning Center. Green Mountain in Effingham, is part of the 2,171-acre High Watch Preserve, a Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests property. ~ Carey Kish
