Great stop for dessert

We enjoyed a friendly atmosphere thanks to the staff serving the ice cream, they were wonderful! Ice cream flavor selections were good and really nice being able to enjoy our dessert around the outside tables. Owners have hired a great staff.

You will not believe your taste buds!!

After reading reviews that proclaimed Trail's End as THE best ice cream in North Conway, NH-we just had to try it! HOLY COW!!! Both the soft serve and hard ice cream are without a doubt the BEST we have ever had. The servings are HUGE...and the prices are reasonable. The young man working there Sunday night (May 30) was so helpful and kind and gave great ice cream advice-other people waiting in line on this chilly, rainy night appeared equally delighted!! Thank you for sensational service and excellent ice cream!!!!!More

Great-tasting ice cream, served in huge portions

We arrived a few minutes after nominal closing time, but we were still served. The ice cream is delicious (my wife had pistachio and I had the lemon chip and both were great. An idea if you are there during a clear day is to...get ice cream and then go across the street to the scenic vista which has a wonderful view of Mt. Washington.More

Worth the Stop

This small ice cream shop is right across from a lookout with incredible views. The employees are friendly and their scoops are huge with incredibly fair pricing. The homemade ice cream is delicious! Definitely worth the stop!

A meal in a cone.

We stopped in on the way back from the mountains expecting a small snack. The girl was great, excellent attitude and very helpful. We both got "kiddy cones". Mine in a waffle cone with a spoon and hers in a sugar cone with a cup...and spoon. We walked the whole way around Settlers Green and finished on our way back. My Salted caramel and her lemon chip was very good and super big servings at a reasonable price. We will stop in again!More

Post-Hike Bliss

Having just finished our hike for the day, we wanted to get some ice cream to cool down. We’ve passed Trails End multiple times on the way to our hikes or elsewhere, and decided to finally stop by. They told us that their scoops were...the size of softballs, and they weren’t lying. Their two scoop sundaes were enough for one ice cream lover, or two normal people. I think it’s safe to say that we have found our new ice cream spot for North Conway.More

Come hungry or get the kiddie cone!

Large selection of flavors of self made ice cream (not commercial brand) that rivals B & J and all the others. PLUS the small cone (or cup) is almost a meal! They even use milk from a local dairy. You may think it a bit...pricey until you take your first bite...well worth it! Lots of other ice cream treats available. The milkshakes are thick and rich! Will go again and again when in the area.More

Out of this World Ice Cream

My husband and I have been going for an occasional ice cream at Trails End for years, but this year, a new aura was happening there. The Ice cream was better than usual and the servers were very attentive and friendly. Try the Chocolate Chocolate...Chip with Chocolate Sprinkles..out of this world!More
