According to NH Fish and Game, snowshoe hare are found throughout New England, across Canada, and south to the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains.

Arctic hare range. The Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), or polar rabbit, is a species of hare which is adapted largely to polar and mountainous habitats. The Arctic hare survives with shortened ears and limbs, a small nose, body fat that makes up 20% of its body, and a thick coat of fur. It usually digs holes in the ground or under snow to keep warm and sleep.
