Dixville Notch (NH-26)
New Hampshire Route 26 carves through Dixville Notch in the far north of the state — a short, steep-walled granite gorge that separates Dixville Peak and Cave Mountain at the boundary of the Connecticut and Androscoggin River watersheds. The 31-mile corridor from Colebrook east to the Maine border passes through 127-acre Dixville Notch State Park, where the road cuts directly alongside towering cliffs above two mountain-brook waterfalls. The surrounding terrain is dense boreal forest with almost no development; riders encounter moose regularly, especially at dawn and dusk. This is the least-crowded notch in New Hampshire and the most remote, rewarding riders willing to make the northern detour with dramatic scenery and genuine wilderness character.
