DISCOVER THE OUTDOORS
The Sunapee area offers wonderful opportunities to get outside and explore this beautiful landscape. Hiking during the summer is awesome and yet it involves careful planning and preparation. NH Fish and Game and the White Mountain National Forest both suggest following Recreate Responsibly guidelines.
Go Explore and hike Sunset Hill in Newbury or hike the trails at the historic Hay Estate at The Fells, the John Hay National Wildlife Refuge on the shore of Lake Sunapee, or the Ausbon Sargent's Stony Brook Sanctuary. All these and many more area trails offer quiet and views of wonderful woodlands and vistas, plus the possibility of sightings and tracks of the many forest animals that inhabit the area.
