Scenic Byways

The SNHPC region is home to four state-designated scenic and cultural byways; these distinctive loops guide travelers through the region’s diverse history and landscapes. From Londonderry’s apple orchards to the settings of Robert Frost’s poetry, and from the stomping grounds of American hero John Stark to the gently burbling Upper Lamprey River, history and scenic charm abound.                                  

SNHPC staff assist the region's byway councils with meeting facilitation/organization as well as outreach and byway planning. There has been renewed interest in New Hampshire’s byways over the last several years, and SNHPC staff also facilitate byway discussions statewide in the form of the NH Scenic Byways Networking Committee. This group planned and executed statewide forums from 2017-19, and worked with the National Scenic Byway Foundation to bring a Byway Leader Training to New Hampshire in May 2022. 

If you’re interested in becoming involved on a byway council (see below for towns), please contact Adam Hlasny at ahlasny@snhpc.org.
