This isn't one of those "Do this and do that" one-size-fits-all touristy travel articles about Meredith, N.H. 

Because if we did all this and that, we'd be bouncing from place to place with little time to focus on connecting to the true beauty of this Lakes Region town.

If desiring to stay away from the touristy things and making the most of a short time in Meredith, I'd suggest taking a nice walk at Hesky Park in the town's central district. The paths, walking bridges and well-constructed boardwalk delights with sweeping views of Lake Winnipesaukee, park-like grounds, public docks, a boat launch and pleasing views of the quaint downtown Meredith. It all looks like quintessential New Hampshire within one view.

Maintained by the Meredith Buildings and Grounds Departments, Heksy Park is exceptionally well-taken care of -- the type of place that we all hope to experience when on vacation or on a day trip. During the warm weather, vibrant flowers accentuate the innate scenic beauty. Fall time brings colorful foliage surrounding the area. Winter brings a white blanket of snow to contrast beautifully with the lake, hills and mountains. During the Christmas holiday season, white lights help make this part of Meredith look like something out of a Hallmark Christmas movie depicting idyllic small town life.

Personally, we'll take the summer and fall when the chance to stay outside longer and breathe in the fresh mountain area makes the experience all the much better. Do this and you'll doing that for many repeat visits to this special section of Meredith!

Hesky Park is located on Route 3 by Meredith Bay in Meredith, NH.

Editor's note: If you do want to do this and that in Meredith, we highly recommend logging onto the Meredith page at NewEnglandWithLove.com.
