About this city
North Woodstock is a historic, wonderfully quirky mountain resort village nestled tightly inside a deep granite gorge carved by the rushing headwaters of the Pemigewasset River in Grafton County. Positioned dynamically along Old Route 3 just south of Franconia Notch, the village represents a beautifully preserved, nostalgic capsule of mid-20th-century roadside American tourism. Enveloped by steep forested bluffs, North Woodstock offers an laid-back, community-driven mountain culture centered around rugged hiking, winter ice architecture, and craft brewing.
