Belmont

A 1.8-mile paved rail trail that winds through lush woodlands and offers stunning glimpses of Lake Winnisquam through the trees. The trail has gentle rolling terrain with curves and modest hills that make it more interesting than typical flat rail trails. Unlike busier state park trails, this one feels peaceful and offers scenic lake views from several spots, plus it connects to the longer WOW Trail for extended adventures.

This 1833 brick mill building stands as a monument to preservation history and local resilience. After a devastating 1992 fire nearly claimed it, passionate citizens led a remarkable restoration effort that earned national recognition. Now serving as a community center, the mill houses multiple services and displays, with its story commemorated on a New Hampshire historical marker. The building exemplifies what locals call the 'Miracle on Main Street.'

Dating to 1792, this weathered wooden meeting house is one of the oldest church buildings in the Lakes Region and sits quietly along the historic Province Road laid out in the 1760s. Originally built two stories high with galleries, it was cut down to one story in 1836. The building has witnessed over two centuries of community gatherings and now serves as a testament to early New England religious architecture, recently restored through community fundraising efforts.
