The White Mountains Region is located in northern New Hampshire. It is named after the White Mountains, which cover most of the region. The boundaries are loosely defined as everything between the defined northern and southern boundaries. The southern line begins at Piermont on the west, and runs to Plymouth, then to Conway, and east to the Maine border. The northern boundary begins at Cushman, runs to Berlin and then east to the Maine border. The region to the north is known as the Great North Woods Region, which should not be confused with the larger and more general Great North Woods.

Wolves, native to the area and once common in the region, are being reintroduced to disperse in a 7,000-square-mile recovery area comprised of the Apache National Forest in eastern Arizona and the Gila National Forest in west-central New Mexico.
The WhiteMountains have historically been heavily logged, and timber production is today a major use of the area.
Grazing of livestock is common among the high meadows and pine forests of the Whites, while fishing and camping are major recreational activities for visitors to the region.
