Surry Mountain Lake Recreation Area is officially closed for the season. Visitors are always welcome to walk into the park and utilize the area. Fall and winter are a wonderful time of year to take a walk through the park and when we have enough snow, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing as well as snowmobiling are a great way to get out and enjoy the area. Don't forget to check out our cross country ski trail at the Dort Road area. The 2 mile groomed loop goes along field edges through a pine stand, and along the river.

Wildlife viewing is a popular activity enjoyed in the park, throughout the year, and this winter, you can enjoy ice fishing on Surry Mountain Lake. This year the Gilsum Sons of the American Legion are planning on holding their ice fishing derby on Saturday March 5, 2011. This is a great event, that you wouldn't want to miss.

If you are interested in interpretive programs and would like a park ranger to present a program, we are available for both on and off site presentations. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a program please call our office at (603) 352-4130 or e-mail eric.s.chouinard@usace.army.mil .
