The New Hampshire Scenic and Cultural Byways Program was established in 1992 under RSA 238:19. New Hampshire Scenic Byways "feature the scenic and cultural qualities of the state within the existing highway system, promote retention of rural and urban scenic byways, support the cultural, recreational and historic attributes along these byways, and expose the unique elements of the state's beauty, culture and history."[1] Administration of the program is through the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, Bureau of Planning and Community Assistance.
As of January 2021, there are 184 designated National Scenic Byways in 48 states, including three in New Hampshire (White Mountains Trail, Kancamagus Scenic Byway, and Connecticut River Byway).[2]
As of October 2018, there are 17 State-designated byways in New Hampshire.[3] These byways fit requirements set by the Scenic and Cultural Byway Council for inclusion in the statewide network.
