BOATING ON CORCORAN POND
Right next to Town Square you'll find the mountain stream-fed Corcoran's Pond. At Corcoran’s Pond waterfront you’ll find a fleet of over 20 kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, pedal boats and canoes are available for rent at the Town Square dock.
FISHING
Those looking to cast their line will not be disappointed by Waterville Valley’s fishing locales. Corcoran’s Pond is stocked with fish at the beginning of the summer season, making it a popular fishing spot among visitors and locals alike. The Mad River is home to rainbow trout, offering fly fishing opportunities for the whole family. Nestled in the notch in between Mount Osceola and Mount Kancamagus sits Greeley Ponds – the headwaters of the Mad River. Greeley Ponds is only accessible via hiking or biking and is stocked with eastern brook trout. This pond offers a nice beach and views of the cliffs of Mount Osceola.
GOLF
Waterville Valley Golf Course first opened in 1898, making it one of the oldest in New Hampshire. A major renovation in 2005 retained the character and tradition of the 113-year-old course, and created six spectacular new and redesigned holes. The par 31 layout with four par-4 holes provides a challenging golf experience for players of all abilities.
REY CULTURAL CENTER
Margret and H.A. Rey - authors of the Curious George children’s book series and former summer residents of Waterville Valley - were artists, adventurers, historians, naturalists, gardeners and stewards. Today their pursuits live on in the Margret and H.A. Rey Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the Reys’ spirit of curiosity and discovery by increasing understanding and participation in art, science, and nature through programs for youth, adults and families.
SWIMMING
There are plenty of places to cool off here in the Valley. Embrace the fresh, alpine waters of the White Mountains by exploring various waterfalls and cliff-jumping sites. Or stroll down to Town Square and cool off in Corcoran's Pond, which boasts panoramic mountain views in addition to a floating swim-up dock.
