Nature
Loon Mountain, in Lincoln and Livermore within New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest, is both a notable landform and a major recreation destination. Best known for Loon Mountain Ski Resort, it reflects the broader New England pattern of ski areas evolving into year-round resorts. The mountain’s main features include North Peak, South Peak, Loon Pond, and Loon Peak, all closely tied to the resort’s chairlift system. Geographically, it forms the western end of Scar Ridge, while its brooks drain into the Pemigewasset River, then the Merrimack River, and ultimately the Gulf of Maine. Its significance lies in the close connection between natural landscape and outdoor recreation.
