We all love to get our in nature, but sometimes having to paddle can interfere with kicking back and relaxing. Luckily, New Hampshire has a truly amazing natural lazy river where you can float the day away without lifting a finger.
Saco Canoe Rental Company/facebook The Saco River, which runs through Conway, is wide, slow and flat, making it the perfect natural lazy river. Although this river has views unlike anything you’ve seen.
Don Kellaway/flickr The Saco’s 3 mph flow is perfect for floating. Trips range from 1 to 11 miles, and there are plenty of outfitters in Conway that rent tubes and provide transportation to the river.
Saco Bound The trips take you through a beautiful area of the Saco that is filled with sandbars and crystal clear water. Although along the way there are opportunities for more adventure if you’re feeling brave.
