There are only a few water parks in New Hampshire. But Water Country is one of the largest outdoor water parks in New England. For year-round fun, the state also offers one indoor water park resort. Note that while they are not water parks, the amusement park, Canobie Lake, the amusement area, Hampton Beach, and the theme park, Santa's Village, all have a few water slides and water park elements.

Before we get to the parks, here are some resources to find other parks and make travel plans:
