There are many cottages, log cabins, houses and other vacation rentals right on the shores of Newfound Lake with private stretches of white sandy beach and boat docks. Enjoy swimming and basking on the beach at the lake’s Wellington Beach State Park, one of the state’s largest freshwater swimming beaches; the state park is also a haven for hiking trails and is a wildlife sanctuary where you can spot raccoons and many songbirds. Fishing, of course, is a delight over the lake with its rich waters full of trout, bass, salmon and perch. You could also take a short drive to the west for Cardigan State Park or to the east to Meredith in the huge water-body area of Lake Winnipesaukee.
Indulge in a host of water sports at the lake; hike through trails in state parks; swim and bask on the beach; or, simply relax at one of the Bridgewater vacation rentals watching the panoramic sunset on top of surrounding hills across sparkling Newfound Lake’s waters and rediscover your joys like something totally newfound!
