About

The Veterans Memorial Recreation Area consists of 50 acres within a 680 acre parcel of conservation land known as the Great Gains Forest. The Vets is operated by the Franklin Outing Club, a 501(c)(3) volunteer run nonprofit organization.

Our Mission

Through generous contributions from members and business sponsors - these activities are provided at a reduced rate, or no cost - to members and non-members alike. The Outing Club serves the residents of the Capital Area & Lakes Region, as well as individuals visiting the State of New Hampshire.
