franconia notch has Cannon mt. - my favorite for NH skiing.
and the tourist spots like the flume and the gorge...really beautiful - I don't know any natives, except for Bode Miller...lol (don't really know him, just know of him)
New Hampshire is a little larger than Connecticut.
Okay between this information and the post about the division of New Hampshire into a suburban lower third close to Boston and a rural middle and far north, I really understand more about the scoop on New Hampshire!!

The rural 1/3 is super rural by eastern standards. The population density of Coos County is only 18 people per square mile. In contrast, Hillsborough County in southern NH has a population density closer to 500 people per square mile.
The north-central counties of Grafton and Carroll both have densities of around 50 people per square mile. The central tier counties of Belknap, Merrimack, and Sullivan have densities <=150 people per square mile.
The most rural state in New England BY FAR is Maine. Maine has a greater concentration of people living in rural areas compared to nearly every single state. Piscataquis County, Somerset County, Aroostook County, and Franklin County are all very remote places. I hear Moosehead Lake near Greenville has been found by the good old developers, though...
GraniteStater, do you have a population density figure you could spit out here for a place like the Boston suburbs or Providence suburbs? Just to add to the comparisons here....

Sure:
Boston City- about 12,000+ people per sq mile.
Middlesex County, MA- 1,780 people per sq mile.
Essex County, MA- 1,450 people per sq mile
Norfolk County, MA 1,640 people per sq mile.
Plymouth County, MA 740 people per sq mile.
Worcester County, MA 500 people per sq mile.
Providence City- about 9,400 people per sq mile.
Providence County, RI- 1,500 people per sq mile.
Kent County, RI- 985 people per sq mile.
Bristol County, RI- 2,205 people per sq mile.

funny you mention that - 30 years ago I was approached by a developer who had purchased land on Moosehead - he was trying to unload some of the properties
I checked it out - it looks nice, but it's sooooo far away - 6 hour drive minimum...no attractions but the woods, and the lake of course...lol
wasn't interested....
for it to ever be a popular resort, it will need better access roads and some shopping (just groceries, would be good)....
MA is probably similar, 2/3 if the population in the east 1/4 of the state.... The difference is that MA is losing population....
The population of Massachusetts has increased 2.3% since the year 2000. The population of Rhode Island, on the other hand, has increased only 0.2% since 2000.

We should have a better understanding of population and demographic shifts once the 2010 Census is released...
Considering that the birth/death rates alone should have raised the population at least 10 percent, well...
