New Hampshire is the perfect state for people who hate crowds.

Here are 8 perfect places in New Hampshire that you can enjoy with no crowds.
- Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Newington

- Pawtuckaway State Park, Nottingham

- Pillsbury State Reservation, Washington

- Weirs Beach In The Off Season

- A Beach During the Winter

- Dixville Notch

- Lake Francis, Pittsburg
Stephen Bugno/flickr One of the northernmost lakes in New Hampshire is also one of the quietest. Here, there are no crowds to steal your fishing spot!
- Wentworths Location
Stew Striker/flickr Wentworths Location has a populations of - wait for it - 33 during the 2010 census. That means you’re a whole lot more likely to spot an Osprey than other visitors.
