GAME AND FISH RESORTS. I03 



NEW HAMPSHIRE. 



Area 9,280 square miles ; population 318,300. The State is rug- 

 ged and includes among its mountain systems, the White Mountains, 

 the highest of the Eastern and North-eastern States. The sea 

 coast region, embracing a strip extending twenty or thirty miles in- 

 land, forms an exception to the general description of the State, this 

 section being low and marshy. The north-eastern part of the State 

 is covered with extensive and dense forests, interspersed with nu- 

 merous lakes and partakes of the wilderness character of the neigh- 

 boring State of Maine. All this region is a grand hunting ground 

 for the larger and wilder kinds of New England game, while the 

 lakes are well stocked with fish. Aside from this region, the facil- 

 ities of travel are excellent, and the hotel and other accommoda- 

 tions generally gooti.
