Route 16 - Tamworth Warning

[rocket21]

Just as an FYI, be extra cautious when driving the stretch of Route 16 between Chocorua village (Route 113 junction) and Chocorua Lake right now.

Due to the recent melting, a pack of deer has decided to hang out in that area. There have been a bunch of accidents and near misses as a result - in particular, be careful when using the northbound climbing lane - apparently deer are jumping down off the embankment in the blind turn, where the speed limit increases about 20 mph.

Thanks for the heads up, this is the way I usually go to the Whites, much appreciated, Mike PS

If you slow down when driving through the village you might even catch a glimpse of the otter playing on the ice.

That, alone, is worth the drive. Thanks for the reminder...

I look every morning, but sadly, I have not seen him/her yet this year...

I have not seen the deer yet either, but thanks for the warning.

I will keep a sharp eye out for them now!

I've seen the deer a few times recently...a few nights ago I was almost in the tail end of a near-three car pile up from them jumping out at the top of that hill on 16. Yikes!
