I'm going to be attending the Saturday September 3rd off-roadeo. I was hoping to get some recommendations on things you all did on the days around the event. I'm flying solo the whole time I'm up there, so I wanted to make sure I kept myself busy! I'll be flying into Boston Friday evening and renting a car. The plan is to stay in an Air BNB right near the mountain. Not flying out until Sunday night, so I'll have basically all of Sunday free to explore and Saturday night after the off-roadeo (although I feel like there probably isn't a ton to do around there at night haha). What did you guys enjoy doing / what are the good spots to eat?

Sorry if this has been asked in here, but when I did my search I was only finding reviews of the experience itself! Thanks guys!

we stayed at steele hill resort that had a decent restaurant, a stocked trout pond, and an indoor water park (with video game consoles, air hockey, pool tables, etc). I was wondering if they had cancelled the NH off rodeo since all of gunstock mountains management quit and they closed the resort. might want to call and check your emails. if i had gone solo, i would have brought my rods and rented a kayak. so much water up that way

The last report I read said they were open but they no longer took the ride up the mountain for lunch it was at base camp. We are heading there the 19th of august. And have not been contacted with a cancellation.

Go to Newicks and get the clam platter! Drive down to Gloucester, on your way back to Boston. You can even go whale watching from there.

Also fun lake activities right next door at Lake Winnipesaukee . Boating, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc.
You could consider the Waterfront in Portland Maine also is a blast. A 2 hour trek, but well worth it. Great place to visit in the summer! Good food (Port Hole a "locals" favorite on the pier), breweries. Beautiful coast line, a great spot for Lobster rolls at the Lobster Shack outside of Portland at Two Lights, Kennebunkport, etc.
Lots of options...

All we were there two weeks ago for vacation. The resort was open. We went zip lining and the off rodeo was going on with the trip up the mountain for lunch. We actually camped at the resort this year and had a great time. Make sure you hit up the tilton diner at some point and the NH bank pavilion is right there and they have great concerts. We saw DMB in July.

Keep the good stuff coming! Especially the restaurants lol. My wife and I are going to be in NH Friday-Monday with Sat the 19th being out OffRodeo day. Heading to the coast so the Portland restaurant idea are nice. We will probably drive down the coast a bit. Any out of the way places not in a big city would be welcome as well!

The management team is back on the job at Gunstock and all seems to be back to normal... at least according to a news article posted by another member. I believe two members of the comission board "resigned", and this paved the way for the management team to return.

I was there on 8/15 and it seemed to be operating as normal. We rode the ski lift to the top for lunch. Plenty of others were riding the ski lift as well.

Was there today for the off-rodeo... Everything appeared to be open and running at Gunstock > zip line, chair lift, main restaurant, and lunch at the peak... although no campfire afterwards. Great event and our trail guide Jordan was awesome.

We drove and hiked Mt. Chocorura. Nice hike. We would have hit Mt. Washington, but didn’t want to get up that early.
