Newfound Lake A 4 Season Destination
Newfound Lake is one of the cleanest large lakes in the world, the lake is cherished by residents and visitors alike. In the past it was called Pasquanney (the Native American name for the lake), Berea, Onaway and others. The lake is 4106 acres at an elevation of 587 feet. The maximum depth of 183 feet produces some of the best Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Salmon and Smallmouth Bass fishing in the NH Lakes Region. You can launch your boat or visit the beach at Wellington State Park.
Newfound Lake is the third largest of the lakes and has proven especially popular because of its tranquil and unspoiled surroundings. This glacial lake is surrounded by mountains and is fed by natural spring water.
There are four towns on the shoreline of Newfound Lake - Alexandria, Bridgewater, Bristol, and Hebron; Bristol being the most populous but still with only 3,000 regular residents. Newfound Lake offers you and your family the opportunity to enjoy a small town community while providing convenient access to airports in Manchester and Boston both less than 2 hours away.
The lake offers excellent fishing and water sports opportunities while the local countryside and in particular Mount Cardigan further ensures that nature lovers and active families can enjoy year round activities. Every season in New Hampshire offers something different. The typically mild summer months are perfect for hiking and other summer outdoor pursuits while the snowy winter months are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing and snowmobiling.
Newfound Lake is a popular destination for individuals and families that seek a more natural and friendly location.
