Mount Sunapee State Park


Mount Sunapee State Park is a state park in Newbury, New Hampshire. The park includes a beach portion on Lake Sunapee and most of Mount Sunapee. The state has leased the ski area to Mount Sunapee Resort.
Mount Sunapee State Park's beach, also known as Newbury Beach, features a bathhouse, store, canoe and kayak rentals, and a playground. A boat launch is available with some restrictions.
There is a seasonal campground located off NH Route 103, up a winding mountain road accessed through the Mount Sunapee Resort.
Activities in the park include swimming, hiking, camping, skiing, fishing, picnicking and non-motorized boating.

Hiking

The state park's extensive trail system is used in all seasons for hiking and in winter for snowshoeing.
From the ski area parking, the Summit Trail travels along the western slope to the summit, where it meets the Solitude Trail for a walk to Lake Solitude and White Ledges. The Solitude Trail then links to several trails, notably the popular Andrew Brook Trail and the steeper Newbury Trail, both heading eastward, and to the M-S Greenway as it heads south along Sunapee Mountain toward Pillsbury State Park.
The park is linked to Pillsbury State Park and southern New Hampshire by the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway and to the ten-town Lake Sunapee region by the "emerald necklace" of the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway which connects Mt. Sunapee to Wadleigh State Park in Sutton and to Winslow and Rollins State Parks on Mount Kearsarge in Warner and Wilmot. The trail also links three New Hampshire state forests: Gile, Kearsarge and Shadow Hill, as well as one state wildlife management area: Bog Mountain.
