According to NH Fish and Game, snowshoe hare are found throughout New England, across Canada, and south to the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. In New Hampshire and Maine they are most abundant in the northern three counties. I like finding them down here near the coast because, to me, as a northophile, I love anything reminiscent of the North.
