Planning a trip to Jackson NH

Getting There -- Jackson is just off Route 16, about 11 miles north of North Conway. Heading north, look for the covered bridge on the right. Surprisingly, Concord Coach (tel. 800/639-3317; www.concordcoachlines.com) offers one daily bus here to and from Boston. Wait at the covered bridge and wave down the driver.

Visitor Information -- The Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce (tel. 800/866-3334 or 603/383-9356; www.jacksonnh.com), based in offices at the Jackson Falls Marketplace on Route 16B, can answer questions about area attractions and make lodging reservations.
