Deer Park makes a great home base for a variety of local activities and attractions. When you're done relaxing by the river or lake in Deer Park below is a list of things to do. Some of these activities are just 5 minutes from the condo and other require a short drive. We have been vacationing in the area for over 15 years in both winter and summer so we’ve done a lot from skiing, hiking, biking, swimming tubing, zip-lining, train rides and theme parks. These are just a few of our favorites.
Kayak, canoe and stand-up paddle board rentals delivered to Deer Park:
Art’s Outdoor Outfitters rents kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards. For a small fee they will deliver and pick up in Deer Park. The lake is big enough for paddle boards, you might want more space for kayaks. The lake is big enough for paddle boards, you might want more space for kayaks.

Lost River Gorge - The Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves is an adventure that combines the beauty and mysteries of nature with the excitement of discovery! A ¾ mile boardwalk is your path through the gorge. Your journey can be as easy or as ambitious as you choose: you may remain on the boardwalk, or accept the challenge of exploring the boulder caves. Sturdy footwear and outdoor clothing are recommended and no strollers are allowed in the gorge. The journey begins with a short walk descending approximately 300 feet along the entrance trail. The first stop from the trail is a viewing platform with great views of the gorge. From there, you enter the gorge and meet your first cave, The Sun Altar.

Franconia Notch Recreation Bike Path – is an 8.8 mile bike path with great stops along the way including the basin. It can be done round-trip for a 17 mile loop but unless you’re in good shape I recommend starting up by Cannon and taking the trail south. There are some good hills to get the heart working. Rogers in Lincoln offers shuttle service to the north end of the trail.

The Basin At the base of the beautiful waterfall at this site is a granite pothole 20 feet in diameter. It is 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. Below the Basin is a water-eroded rock formation called the Old Man's Foot. The Basin can be accessed from the northbound and southbound directions and has its own marked exits. There are picnic tables and walking paths, as well as hiking trails.
