Visit Conway guideAbout Jackson
Nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, Jackson is a quintessential New England village that feels like it stepped out of a Norman Rockwell painting. This charming town of 824 residents is renowned for its iconic red covered bridge, the Honeymoon Bridge, which spans the Wildcat River and serves as one of the most photographed landmarks in New Hampshire. The village's compact downtown area, with its historic inns and classic New England architecture, creates an intimate atmosphere where visitors can easily stroll from shop to restaurant to scenic overlook. Jackson's location at the base of Mount Washington makes it a four-season playground for outdoor enthusiasts. In winter, the town transforms into a cross-country skiing paradise with the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation maintaining over 150 kilometers of groomed trails. Summer brings hikers eager to tackle nearby peaks like Mount Washington via the scenic Tuckerman Ravine Trail, while fall visitors come for the spectacular foliage that blankets the surrounding mountains. The town's rich history as a 19th-century resort destination is still evident today in its grand hotels and the warm hospitality that has welcomed guests for generations.
