Each drive’s directions link gives today’s driving time between its stops. Add your own time for walking, parking and any queue, which depend on the day.
Conway to Lincoln, with two river stops
A shortened east-to-west selection from the published Kancamagus drive, following the listed stops from Conway to Lincoln.
The numbered circles mark recorded stop positions in the order listed below. They do not show a driving route. Map: Natural Earth. Town positions: U.S. Geological Survey, Geographic Names Information System.
Conway
Start in Conway before heading west on NH 112. Directions take you to the middle of town, not to a parking space.
The Forest Service listed Lower Falls and the Sabbaday trailhead as open, with a day-use fee, in its notices of August 2026; that was before the leaves turned, so look at the forest’s own page before you set out.
A local adaptation of Vermont Public’s Jeffersonville–Underhill drive, including its suggested Krusch Preserve detour. Follow the article’s road choice for the mountain views.
The publisher’s Jeffersonville–Underhill drive is about 14 miles one way. This version adds a stop at the preserve, so it runs longer than the 14 miles the original route gives.
The preserve’s original page identifies its entrance at 316 North Cambridge Road and links a trail map. Its public land is also used by hunters; consult the current visit notice.
Two public roadside viewpoints named by the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust, with Rangeley village between them. This is our short selection from the byway guide, not a separately published full itinerary.
The numbered circles mark recorded stop positions in the order listed below. They do not show a driving route. Map: Natural Earth. Town positions: U.S. Geological Survey, Geographic Names Information System.
Height of Land
Use the scenic turnout for the lake-and-mountain view.

Bridge of Flowers, Water Street parking
The Bridge of Flowers’ own site names the public lot beside the bridge on Water Street.
The circle marks the bridge; the Water Street lot is beside it.
A shortened selection from CTvisit’s western Connecticut tour. It keeps a lake stop and two villages; the source’s longer country-road loop is optional.

New Preston
Begin in the village at the southern end of the source’s Route 45 drive.
Three public parks selected from Visit Rhode Island’s foliage collection, ordered north to south here. The publisher did not present this exact itinerary.
Rhode Island’s park pages list Rocky Point and Goddard as public parks; check each park’s own notice and map for the entrance, and for which trails are open, before you go.
Follow the five destinations in Visit Bucks County’s western covered-bridge tour. The two park bridges are reached on foot; the roadside bridges are drive-through views unless safe parking is available.
Use the covered-bridge parking lot off Swamp Road, then walk to the bridge. Google Maps labels this arrival Hay Barn Grass Trail Trailhead. Stop at the signed parking area; the bridge and the trails are reached on foot from there.
The circle marks the parking access, rather than the bridge.
Visit Bucks County gives 37.9 miles for its complete western half. This link uses the park’s named parking access, so navigation may choose a different distance. The route finishes at Washington Crossing and does not return to Perkasie.
The published driving estimate is 1 hour 26 minutes, excluding stops, traffic, the drive to Perkasie and the return home. Allow additional time for both bridge walks; check the navigation estimate before treating this as a half-day outing.
The state park names the Schofield Ford Covered Bridge parking lot off Swamp Road; that tells you where to leave the car, not which trails are open, so check the park’s own notice before you go.
The parking spot is the one Jim Cheney gives in his write-up of the bridge for Uncovering PA, and the park confirms it as the start of Hay Barn Grass Trail. Your map may mark parts of the way as restricted; keep to the park’s hours and gates and stop at the signed lot.
