Discover scenic New Hampshire in Errol. Find the sparsely populated town in Coos County, in the northeastern part of the state. Although it has just a few hundred residents, it is a popular destination for nature lovers. Discover why hikers, hunters, fishermen and snowmobilers flock to Errol.

Explore Umbagog Lake, one of the state’s most pristine lakes, straddling the border of New Hampshire and Maine. Fish for bass, pickerel and northern pike. Spend a day amid nature in Umbagog Lake State Park. Sunbathe on the beach or swim in Umbagog Lake’s clear waters. Reserve a cabin or sleep under the stars in a campsite, many of which are accessible only by boat. Rent a canoe, kayak, rowboat or motorboat to explore the lake.

The Androscoggin River begins in Errol and runs for 178 miles (286 kilometers) before spilling into the Atlantic Ocean in Maine. Take a scenic walk along the river. Go fly-fishing to catch a landlocked salmon. Explore the nearby Magalloway River, a tributary of the Androscoggin River.

Experience the great outdoors in Mollidgewock State Park, a 46-acre (19-hectare) park located on the Androscoggin River. Pitch a tent in one of the dozens of campsites, have a picnic by the river or enjoy a hike. Nearby Androscoggin Wayside Park is essentially a mini version of the state park.

Errol falls within the Great North Woods Region, a large swath of wilderness. Depending on the season, take a scenic hike or go snowshoeing under the trees. Watch for moose, deer, foxes and other wildlife that call the region home.

Drive about 10 miles (16 kilometers) outside Errol to Dixville Notch State Park. Explore the Dixville Notch, a mountain pass that divides Dixville Peak and Cave Mountain. Admire the dramatic beauty of the notch or hike around nearby Lake Gloriette.

Errol lies right on New Hampshire’s border with Maine. Drive about 15 minutes to cross the state line or an hour to reach Maine’s famed Rangeley Lakes Region.
