Pollards Mills is a beautiful waterfall you can swim in when the weather is warm. Sunapee has beautiful lake and skiing right next door. There are a lot of outdoor activities and a good gym called Newport Fitness right downtown. Not much for social/nightlife, but there are a few nice restaurants around. Suna and Refinery are close by and on the higher end. Salt Hill pub, Anchorage, Jalisco are also nice and close by.
