Loon Mountain Summer Adventure Essentials
Enjoying yourself in the White Mountains is about having a great adventure and being safe. From horseback riding to ziplining and hiking, we want our guests to make the most of their experience here at Loon Mountain and leave with smiles on their faces. Here are a few tips to keep you safe this summer.
WEAR SUNSCREEN: Sun protection is essential to skin cancer prevention. Wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
HYDRATE: To prevent dehydration on hot summer days, drink plenty of water before and after any summer activity. The average person should consume 64 ounces of water a day, 1/2 liter for every mile hiked. Dehydration may cause headache, heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and even death.
BE PREPARED: As the saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a minute." The weather in the White Mountains is always changing. Make sure to bring extra clothing and a rain jacket. Check current weather conditions in Lincoln, NH.
WILDLIFE: We are not the only ones living in the White Mountains. Please keep in mind that we share this beautiful area with many different animals, such as black bears, moose, deer, and fox. If you come across an animal, do not chase it; leave young animals alone and leave the area slowly and as soon as possible. Please do not feed any wild animals.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY: Protect your feet by wearing closed-toed shoes when participating in any outdoor activity this summer at Loon Mountain.
LEAVE NO TRACE: If you take it in, bring it out. Let's help keep our environment clean!
BUG DOPE: You know that annoying buzzing sound you hate? And the itchy sensation you get afterward? When spending time in the outdoors this summer, make sure to wear bug spray to prevent bug bites.
