The Town of Bath, incorporated in 1761, was named for a prominent English statesman, William Pulteney, first Earl of Bath, who served as Secretary of War and was known as one of the best orators in Parliament. The original town charter set aside land in equal shares for 68 families, with a church and a school. The 2005 census showed a population of 944 residents within Bath's 38.6 square miles of area. The highest points in Bath are a trio of knobs on Gardner Mountain, all found near the northernmost point in town and all measuring slightly greater than 1,980 feet above sea level. The Connecticut River forms the western boundary of the town; the Ammonoosuc and Wild Ammonoosuc Rivers flow through the town. Bath has the distinction of having three covered bridges, the oldest of which was built in 1829. A fourth covered bridge, built in 1846, was destroyed by flooding in 1927.

Area attractions include the Bath Covered Bridge (5.5 miles) – The current structure is the fifth bridge to stand on this site. The first was constructed in 1794 at a cost of $366.66. That bridge was demolished by a flood and replaced in 1806 at a cost of $1,000. The second and third bridges were also destroyed by floods but immediately replaced in 1820 and again in 1824. The fourth bridge was destroyed by fire in late 1830. Rebuilding efforts began in March 1831 when $1,400 was allotted to cover the construction of two stone abutments and piers along with the purchase of other materials. In March 1832, an additional $1,500 was allotted to complete the construction. It appears that the fifth bridge was completed by early 1832. When it was first built, the bridge had hewn arches. New overlapping arches were added when the bridge was raised over the railroad in 1920. At one time, there was a sign posted at the bridge which prohibited riding horses across the bridge at a trot. It was believed that the impact of trotting horses could cause the structure to fall apart. The Bath Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Franconia Notch is a spectacular mountain pass traversed by a unique parkway which extends from the Flume Gorge at the south to Echo Lake at the north.

Loon Mountain Resort (30 miles) – If it weren’t for Sherman Adams, Loon Mountain Resort may never have been built at all. As a young man coming of age in the 1920s, Adams was a “walking boss” for the Parker Young Co., managing the far-flung logging camps that dotted the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River near the town of Lincoln, New Hampshire. To the rough-hewn loggers he oversaw, the brash, 140-pound Dartmouth grad took some getting used to. One veteran logger, Abe ‘The Cub’ Boyle, called Adams a “cocky little devil” who earned the men’s respect by plunging wholeheartedly into any task – even if it meant jumping in over his head. “On river drives, he’d be right out there with a pickaroon, keeping the logs moving. You got to move fast, and he’d move fast. Being a little guy, he’d be right up to his belly in that cold water.” After 20 years in the woods, that same drive that propelled Adams to great heights – first as a Congressman, then as a two-time New Hampshire governor, and eventually as chief of staff to President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the early 1950s. After achieving widespread notoriety in the White House (he was featured on the covers of both TIME and Newsweek) he left Washington, D.C. to return to his home in New Hampshire.

When Adams returned home in 1958, he found a town teetering on the brink of an uncertain future. The logging industry, which had sustained Lincoln for the better part of a century, was struggling to cope with new environmental regulations and an ever-dwindling supply of harvestable timber. Adams, a prolific hiker and trail builder, had long foreseen the eventual decline of logging in the White Mountains, and the subsequent need to balance industry with recreation, tourism, and conservation. He knew that something had to change if the town of Lincoln were to survive – and he probably needed to get out of the house, too. One day, his wife, Rachel, gave him the push he needed. “There must be a place to ski up there somewhere,” she said, probably gesturing to the mountains that rose steeply behind the town’s ailing paper mill. “What are you going to do about it?”

If anyone could do anything about it, Adams could. At some point in the early 1960s, Adams strapped on his snowshoes and tramped into the mountains like he did as a young man – this time in search of ski slopes instead of timber. When he eventually snowshoed up Loon Mountain, Adams realized that he had found the perfect location. The mountain’s consistent pitch, relatively few glacial boulders, and northern exposure all furnished the ideal ingredients for a ski resort.

Construction on Loon Mountain began in the spring of 1966, and the resort opened for business just eight months later, on December 27, 1966. During those eight months, Adams reprised his role of walking boss, cruising the woods and managing every aspect of the resort’s construction. Local workers built a makeshift bridge across the Pemigewasset River and used old logging roads to haul boxcars worth of lumber, chairlift parts, and other supplies to the mountain’s base. On opening day, the small, bare-bones operation opened with 12 trails, two lifts, and one toilet. “Actually we began because we had to, not because we were ready,” Adams said. “Five hundred people showed up with their skis without being invited.”

Adams would go on to serve as Loon’s president and general manager for nearly two decades. He remained deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of the resort until he passed away in the fall of 1986 at the age of 87.

Fiume Gorge (29 miles) – The Flume is a natural gorge extending 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty. The walls of Conway granite rise to a height of 70 to 90 feet and are 12 to 20 feet apart. The Flume Trail is a 2-mile loop starting at the check-in booths located in front of the Flume Building. The Short Trail/Rim Path is closed and the only option is to complete the full 2 mile loop. The entire loop takes approximately 1.5 hours and finishes at the Flume Building. The walk includes uphill walking and lots of stairs. The boardwalk allows you to look closely at the growth of flowers, ferns and mosses found here.

Hobo Railroad (29 miles) – The Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, NH and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad in Meredith and Weirs Beach, NH share something in common, 54 miles of historic railroad track between Tilton and Lincoln, NH that dates back to 1848 – a period in time when President Zachary Taylor resided in the White House, trains were pulled by steam locomotives and steam-powered automobiles were becoming all the rage.

During the mid-1800’s, this track was owned by the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad. At the time, it served as one of the primary routes north through New Hampshire for tourists making their way from cities like Boston, Hartford and New York to the pristine lakes and mountains of northern New Hampshire as well as to points further north including the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and Montreal, Canada.

In the early 1900’s the rights to the rail line were sold to the Boston & Maine Railroad who kept the line active between the Lakes Region and Lincoln, NH in support of the paper mills and other businesses that depended on passenger and freight service. Passenger service faded as automobiles and highways became more popular in the 1950’s. Once the last of the paper mills closed for good in the mid 1970’s, freight service came to an end as well. The rail line was then purchased by the State of New Hampshire and eventually offered for lease.

This unique opportunity caught the interest of Ed & Brenda Clark from Lincoln, NH in the mid-1980’s. After reaching an agreement with the State of New Hampshire, the Clarks created the Hobo Railroad – a tourist railroad – which they opened in Lincoln, NH on June 15, 1987. The Clarks have continued to operate and grow the railroad operation successfully for the past 35 years. Located at 64 Railroad Street in Lincoln, NH they operate from late May through late October and again from Thanksgiving until just before Christmas.

In the early 1990’s the Clark family had a unique opportunity to operate another section of the same rail line from the State of New Hampshire along Lake Winnipesaukee. This new lease gave the company access to the track between Tilton, NH at the south, and Lincoln, NH at the northern most end – a total distance of 54 miles.
