The first was Miller State Park acquired in 1881 and the newest park property is the 400 acre Lafayette Brook Tract acquired earlier this year. The beginning of the Parks and Recreation Division occurred in 1935 with the creation of the Forestry and Recreation Commission although the Forestry Commission had been created much earlier. We share joint management responsibility for 400,000 acres of state reservations with the Division of Forest and Lands. Our park system reflects NH’s landscape by providing a great variety within close proximity. You can be at Hampton Beach in the morning with 50,000 other people and later that day you can be miles from anyone else on 250 miles of state owned logging roads in the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters Tract along the Canadian Border. The parks system itself includes 38 day use areas, 22 campgrounds, 22 beaches, 7 waysides, 16 historic sites, 6 natural areas, 2 ski areas, 606 buildings, thousands of picnic tables, 7,000 miles of snowmobile trails and 1,000 miles of ATV trails. Management is carried out with approximately 1,100 employees, most are part time seasonal. There are 4 bureaus in the Division – Park Operations including Cannon Mountain, Trails, Historic Sites, and Community Recreation. The total operating budget for the parks system is 30 million dollars. If you think of a revenue pie divided four ways – roughly ½ the pie is day use areas, campgrounds, beaches etc., ¼ of the pie is Cannon Mountain ski area and ¼ of the pie is the bureau of trails (primarily motorized).

  • Lake Sunapee Byway Corridor Management Plan (PDF, 1.6
    Corridor Management Plan for the Lake Sunapee Byway Formally Adopted September 9, 2010 Prepared by the Lake Sunapee Byway Committee With technical assistance from Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission With funding from Federal Highway Administration through the National Scenic Byway Program, administered through the New Hampshire Department of Transportation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Lake Sunapee Scenic and Cultural Byway is a driving route around Lake Sunapee in the towns of Newbury, New London, and Sunapee, New Hampshire. The Lake Sunapee Byway is one of seventeen designated routes in the New Hampshire Scenic and Cultural Byways Program, consisting of roadways that exemplify unique cultural, historical, recreational, scenic and natural features in the State. The goal of the Lake Sunapee Byway Corridor Management Plan is to recognize, preserve, and enhance the character of the Byway and its resources. The Lake Sunapee Byway Committee is tasked with preparing a vision for the byway and creating and implementing a Corridor Management Plan to achieve that vision. The vision for the Lake Sunapee Byway is as follows: The Lake Sunapee Byway welcomes travelers seeking alternatives to the beaten path, linking several villages, each with a unique connection to the history and culture of the Lake Sunapee region. The 39-mile route encircles Lake Sunapee, connecting visitors to vibrant communities and natural scenery. The lakes, mountains, and forests offer striking vistas and a multitude of recreational opportunities. In the village centers, history and modern-day culture converge, where old buildings are adapted for new uses and the traditions of yesteryear are still observed. The Lake Sunapee Byway reflects the best of New England tradition, recognizing and protecting the qualities that make this region unique.
