What’s the last time you watched a trained bear show or got chased by a Wolfman while you rode a steam-powered locomotive? We’re guessing it’s been a while. That’s easy to fix thanks to Clark’s Trading Post in Lincoln. If you’ve been, you know it’s not to be missed. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for?
Clark’s Trading Post, first opened in 1928, has been a New Hampshire institution for decades.

Clark’s is probably best known for its trained bears.

The Clark family has made a tradition of training native black bears since 1949.

The bears are remarkably tame and well-trained.

Visitors also love the chance to ride the White Mountain Central Railroad, Clark’s, a classic steam locomotive.

The scenic half-hour ride carries visitors over the Pemigewasset River on a covered bridge.

The train ride is especially exciting because it tends to anger the Wolfman, a local legend who lives along its tracks…

Once you’ve escaped the Wolfman you can cool off with bumper boats and water rides.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try scaling the climbing wall.

You can even go for a Segway ride - and the Wolfman might join you if you’re lucky!
