Franconia Notch State Park is located in the White Mountains in northern New Hampshire, United States, and straddles 8 miles (13 km) of Interstate 93 as it passes through Franconia Notch, a mountain pass between the Kinsman Range and Franconia Range. Attractions in the state park include the Flume Gorge and visitor center, the Old Man of the Mountain historical site, fishing in Echo Lake and Profile Lake, and miles of hiking, biking and ski trails. The northern part of the park, including Cannon Mountain and Echo and Profile lakes, is in the town of Franconia, and the southern part, including Lonesome Lake and the Flume, is in Lincoln.
The park is home to Cannon Mountain, a state-owned ski resort started in the 1930s. The mountain is named for a rock formation in the shape of a cannon found on the summit, but the "Old Man of the Mountain" formation was by far the more famous; it collapsed in May 2003. Cannon is also famous for being one of the most challenging hills in New England. It boasts an aerial tram, which runs year-round, ferrying sightseers to the summit in the summer time and skiers in the winter. At the base of the tramway is the New England Ski Museum, with exhibits on the history of alpine skiing in New England and America.
We decided to kick off the new season of Sportsman TV right back where we started last year - in the basin. The fish are moving into dead end canals as they get ready to spawn and we pull their number. Come go with us.
The Atchafalaya Basin is the largest swamp in the United States. Follow host Greg Hackney as he picks the basin apart and keys in on largemouth bass.
The Murray-Darling Basin is Australia's largest river system, and the health of it's environment is crucial to communities and our economy. The Basin Plan aims to balance the water needs of the environment with the needs of people. Getting that balance right will ensure a healthy Murray-Darling Basin for future generations.
When you visit Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire, The Basin should be on your list of places to stop. It is a glacial "pothole" - believed to have been eroded 15,000 years ago while the North American ice sheet was melting. The Basin has been smoothed by small stones and sand, whirled around by the Pemigewasset River. The Basin is located on NH I-93 (Franconia Notch Parkway) and has its own marked northbound and southbound exits, and is in between Exits 34A and 34B.

Franconia Notch State Park is located in the heart of the White Mountain National Forest. 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. For eight miles, I-93 winds between the high peaks of the Kinsman and Franconia mountain ranges.
Exploring Franconia Notch State Park in White Mountains, New Hampshire. http://www.nhstateparks.org/explore/state-parks/flume-gorge.aspx The Flume was discovered in 1808 by 93-year-old “Aunt” Jess Guernsey when she accidently came upon it while fishing. She had trouble convincing her family of the marvelous discovery, but eventually persuaded others to come and see for themselves. At that time, a huge egg-shaped boulder hung suspended between the walls. The rock was 10 feet (3m) high and 12 feet (3.6m) long. A heavy rainstorm in June of 1883 started a landslide that swept the boulder from its place. It has never been found. The same storm deepened the gorge and formed Avalanche Falls.

Visit Franconia Notch HERE: https://goo.gl/5yoSED - For more of America's most beautiful parks, visit http://www.roadtrippers.com Did you know that there are 75 state park properties in New Hampshire? That seems like a lot for such a small state... but one out of all of those stands out from the rest-- Franconia Notch State Park. It's been attracting visitors for well over 200 years-- long before it was made into a park. Even famed writer and naturalist Henry David Thoreau spent time here. Take a page from his book (pun intended) and explore Franconia Notch and all of its breathtaking beauty!
Located in northern New Hampshire, Franconia Notch State Park is a beautiful state park situated within the White Mountains. The scenery along I-93 which I capture in a part of the video is quite beautiful especially on the day I was there. I also make different stops such as The Basin, Boise Rock, and Echo Lake. Although many of the attractions in the state park were not open yet for the season such as the chairlift to the top of Cannon Mountain, that would be something I would like to do in the future. When visiting northern New England, this is one state park to definitely not miss!
(Rolf Kasparek)
Poisoned snakes with doubled tongues, pretend to know the law
They menace with eternal hell, the fiend on velvet paws
They say what you should do or not, to keep you just in line
Praying they will fool the blind till the end of time
Fight the fire, the licking flame of hate
Fight the liar, the snake in the shade
He spites his wicked lies, the poison
He slithers round his victim till he bites
He injects the fuel of hate, the poison
And the fallen angel spreads his blackened wings
They pray the wine, they serve the lie, that's dripping in your ears
They daze your mind, they need your soul to oil their evil gear
A mindless and obedient slave to the lord of flies
Their hearts are weapped in blackest night, cashing in on lies
Fight the fire, the licking flame of hate
Fight the liar, the snake in the shade
He spites his wicked lies, the poison
He slithers round his victim till he bites
He injects the fuel of hate, the poison
And the fallen angel spreads his blackened wings
The evilness lives in their heart, Lucifer's the name
They bet your life, your soul's the prize, the pool in the game
They say they saw the god of light, but they will never proof
I know their god, they're praying to, two horns and cloven hoof
Fight the fire, the licking flame of hate
Fight the liar, the snake in the shade
He spites his wicked lies, the poison
He slithers round his victim till he bites
He injects the fuel of hate, the poison
And the fallen angel spreads his blackened wings
