Summer Resorts. The pleas-
ant location on the lake, the many
fine views of natural scenery, the
excellent roads, and the exten-
sive provisions made for the ac-
commodation of travelers, to-
gether with the varied recreations
amid mountain, lake, and coun-
try scenery, have caused Wolfebo-
rough to be one of the most impor-
tant points for summer tourists, in
New-Hampshire. Those seeking
health or pleasure, will find this
town one of the most healthful and
delightful resorts in the country.
The evening excursions on the
lake, by Steamboats, are de-
lightful, and the views obtained
from the deck(especially by moon-
light) of the glistening waters ,
the islands, shores, and distant
mountains, through the shades
of a summer evening, are grand,
and not soon forgotten by the be-
holder.

Six miles east of the village is
Copple Crown Mountain, 2,100 feet
high. From its summit an exten-
sive view of the surrounding coun-
try can be obtained. Here, in a
clear day, is spread before the eye
of the beholder, the Ocean, Mt.
Washington, the Winnipiseogee
and its islands, numerous ponds,
forests, and cultivated fields, all
affording a grand panoramic view
of nature and all its varied forms.
To the north-east is “ Tumble
Down Dick Mountain.” The view
from its summit is similar to that
of Copple Crown, but it is easier
of ascent. Seven miles in a south-
easterly direction, is Devils’ Den,
a natural curiosity, worthy of a vis-
it from any admirer of nature. A
ride of four miles from the village,
brings you to two mineral springs,
the waters of which contain medi-
cinal properties. These springs
are visited by all classes. Horses,
carriages, boats and attendants can
always be obtained at the hotels.

Wolfeborough can be reached
from Boston by three public routes,
viz. direct, by rail, over the Eastern
Railroad; by cars on the Boston &
Maine Railroad to Dover, thence
over the Cocheco to Alton Bay,
thence (in warm weather) by
Steamboats, ten miles, to Wolfe-
borough ; or over the Boston and
Lowell, Lowell and Nashua, Nash-
ua and Concord, and Concord and
Montreal Railroads to the Weirs;
thence, by boat on the lake, twenty
miles, to Wolfeborough. At the
present day, visitors to New-
Hampshire never make their tour
complete, without they spend a
few days in this pleasant lake
town. The estimated number of
tourists who spent their vacation
here, or made a brief visit last
year, (1873) was ten thousand.
