Otter Brook Lake offers many recreational opportunities that everyone can enjoy. Swimming, sunbathing, picnicking, canoeing, and fishing are just a few of the summertime favorites at Otter Brook Lake. A shaded brook meanders through the park with picnic tables along its bank. If you prefer the sun and sand the beach with a roped-off swimming area is the place to be. If volleyball or baseball is your idea of fun, there are plenty of grassy areas to set up a game, and horseshoe pits are available throughout the park. During the winter, visitors enjoy cross country skiing, ice fishing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.

If you are planning a family reunion, wedding reception, or business outing, don't forget the shelters at Otter Brook Lake. These shelters may be reserved for a fee, and they make a great place to hold any function. Electricity is available at the shelters and bathrooms with flush toilets are located nearby.

Hunting and fishing are permitted in accordance with appicable state laws and regulations. Trout are stocked annually by the state in Otter Brook, and warm water species can be found in the lake. For more information on hunting or fishing, you can contact the New Hampshire Division of Fish and Game

In addition to the these activities, special interpretive programs on natural resources, water safety and flood control are provided by park rangers. Gatehouse tours are also available. Check out our Current Events to find out what's happening now.
