New Hampshire has a lot to offer when it comes to finding great places to go swimming. The ocean and the lakes are great, but there is nothing as special as discovering hidden swimming holes in New Hampshire, where you can pack a picnic and spend the day relaxing and jumping in the water with the people you love. Here are 10 swimming holes in New Hampshire that you have to visit this summer.

1. Pemigewasset River, Woodstock

The Pemigewasset River has some great swimming holes scattered along it, including a sandy beach in Campton. In Woodstock, the river's current pulls you over the smooth rocks of a natural water slide.

2. Connecticut River, Hanover

A few years ago Hanover cut down the official Dartmouth rope swing, but suffice to say that college students and other locals still claim the Connecticut River as their favorite swimming hole.

3. Rocky Gorge, Albany

Rocky Gorge isn't for the timid. This cliff jump is exhilarating but also a bit dangerous. If you prefer a slower pace, there are much less scary sections of the river just downstream. The Rocky Gorge is right off of the Kancamangus Highway which is filled with a plethora of great waterfalls, views, and the winding Swift River Check out this video from Adventuring in the Moment to see the road and several stops along the way, including the Rocky Gorge.
