New Hampshire is the perfect state for people who hate crowds. With wide open spaces and plenty of wilderness reprieves, New Hampshire offers you the opportunity to have as much – or as little – interactions with your neighbors as you wish. Here are 8 perfect places in New Hampshire that you can enjoy with no crowds.

  1. Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Newington

  1. Pawtuckaway State Park, Nottingham

  1. Pillsbury State Reservation, Washington

  1. Weirs Beach In The Off Season

  1. A Beach During the Winter

  1. Dixville Notch

  1. 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!

  1. 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.
