Those of us lucky enough to live in New England know that being outdoors is one of the perks of life in this region of our beautiful country. Dating in NH can include going on exciting and unique adventures that go beyond the typical dinner and a movie. If you’re an adventure junkie, chances are, you’re looking for a like-minded someone who will want to accompany you. Here are some ideas for dates that will get your adrenaline pumping:
1. Go Disc Golfing
What is disc golfing? It’s harder than it looks, and definitely not for the faint of heart. If your intended is not into traditional golf, try disc golfing, and you might just find a new activity that you’ll both enjoy.
2. Visit a Farm-to-Table Restaurant
If you’re both serious about knowing where your food comes from, go for a meal at Mayfair Farm in Harrisville. Check the schedule to see when impromptu “pop up” dinners are being held? Who knows? You might be able to pick your own vegetables, or meet your dinner before you eat it.
3. Hunt For Amethysts and Garnets at Ruggles Mine
The fastest way to a woman’s heart is with a gorgeous piece of jewelry. If she’s extra picky when it comes to what she likes to wear, let her find her own stones at the Ruggles Mine, where amethysts and garnets have been mined since 1803. After she finds her perfect rock, the museum and souvenir stand are the perfect follow-up to a day of prospecting.
4. Practice Yoga On a Paddleboard
Combine two relaxing activities by practicing your poses on a paddleboard on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro. If you’re an experienced yogi and paddle boarder, you can even take part under the stars. Check out Full Moon Paddleboard to see if you’re cut out for that much extreme relaxation.
5. Ride a Zip line Down Gunstock Mountain
Once you’ve gotten skiing out of your system for the season, there’s still plenty to do at Gunstock Mountain once the snow melts. Consider zip lining down the mountain for the thrill of a lifetime. If you want more heart-stopping action, there’s also bungee jumping and aerial tours. Check out the Segway rides if you’re too timid to zip or bungee.
6. Spend the Day With the Dogs
Muddy Paws Kennel holds roller-sled dog rides during the spring and summer that are as much fun as the winter variety. The kennel is a home for retired sled dogs, so you can also visit with them after the ride.
