Summer Vacation - Lazy Rivers drivable from NY?

Check out Indian Head Resort in Lincoln, NH. There is on-site canoeing, rafting, and tubing. Also, The Whale's Tale Waterpark in Lincoln. As an added bonus, there is the famous Clark's Trading Post in Lincoln that is great, especially for children (although I'm 21 and I still love going!). At Clark's, there are trained black bears that perform shows throughout the day as well as a "Wolfman" train ride. I'd suggest you Google this information and check it out for yourself.

There are plenty of other outdoor activities to do in Lincoln/Woodstock/Littleton, NH during the summer as well. There's Chutter's Candy Store (with the world's longest candy counter), plenty of bookstores and jewelry stores, Cascade Park in Lincoln (various rocks that you can lay on while swimming in or listening to the cascading waters), Echo Lake (fresh water) in Franconia Notch, plenty of hiking trails, great restaurants (Polly's Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, NH is particularly delicious for breakfast), and various other natural sites. I LOVE this area and I strongly suggest you take a trip here -- it is well worth your while!!!
