Autumn in Lyme, New Hampshire

Cooler temperatures bring all the joys of autumn in New England to Lyme and the Upper Valley: hayrides, corn mazes, spiced cider, hot soup, and sweaters abound. 

Whether you like outdoor activities or prefer to stay indoors, our area offers many opportunities to enjoy the fall season.

Hiking this time of year is always spectacular, with beautiful vistas and cooler temps. You can hike a challenging trail in the White Mountains or choose an easy family stroll. Vermont has similar options for the whole family.

Bicycling—both on and off road—continues to be enjoyable. Our roads are safe and supported by a bicycle friendly community. Off-road options are available locally at Green Woodlands here in Lyme and there are many other trails to explore in the Upper Valley. 

Visiting local food and beverage makers is one way to spend an afternoon. Breweries, cheesemakers, wineries, and local farms are open and eager to share their wares.

And you can fill many evenings with visits to area restaurants and performance venues.

Coming up at the Lebanon Opera House is Comedian Bob Marley and Spooky Silent Discos.

Currently playing at Northern Stage is Spring Awakening, and coming up for the holidays is the Railway Children.

Come and stay with us at the Lyme Inn and enjoy all that fall in New England has to offer.
