🚗💵Thank you to everyone who supported NHPR during our summer raffle!

With your help, we made the ultimate New Hampshire summer bucket list.

August is upon us. It's time to start checking off those summer bucket list items.

When we recently asked for your must-see summer spots around the Granite State, we got some great recommendations. From the North Country to the Seacoast and Lincoln to Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire is teeming with hidden gems.

And with just a few weeks of summer left, we’re inviting you all to make your own New Hampshire Summer Bucket List! If you need some inspiration, check out the ideas that people from around the state shared with us below.

If you’ve got any more recommendations, email them to voices@nhpr.org and we’ll be sure to add them here.

P.S. — Make sure to tag us @nhpublicradio on Instagram or TikTok in any posts from your outings!
