Timeless Chocorua Infographic (1)

“We love the lake and stop whenever we drive by.  Keep up the good work.”

“This is our favorite spot whenever we get to New Hampshire – usually two times a year."

“Last Sunday morning my husband and I enjoyed a muffin and juice on the granite benches beside ‘the lake’.  It is where we often return whenever in New Hampshire.”

“It is a lovely lake and I have swum here many times.”

“We had a great time kayaking at your lake this summer.  Keep up the good work!”

“We have enjoyed visiting the lake for over 30 years.  I had no idea how much you do to protect and preserve this lovely place.  Thank you for your efforts.  Please accept a small donation to help with your work.”

“I’m glad there are still places like this – a lake, not a Sea-Doo arena.  It’s a blessing.  Keep up the good work.”

“This is a favorite of our family, a great place for the kids to safely use the kayaks and canoes.  Thanks!”

“THANK YOU for your work!”

“I visited the lake and took a swim before and after climbing Mt Chocorua.  Very refreshing.”

“We love the lake!”

“Thank you for your help in preserving this place!”

“Thank you!  We enjoy the lake when we come to stay a house in Wakefield.  Keep up the good work of keeping the water and lake clean.”

“My family and I were driving home from a short camping trip in the White Mountains, looking for a convenient lake to use our kayak in, as a fun way to cap our little vacation.  Suddenly, a beautiful lake, right on the road, so inviting….  And a fabulous view!"

“My wife Irene passed away on May 25, 2002.  She loved Chocorua Lake.  We visited every year.”

“One of the most beautiful spots in the Northeast.”

“Thank you for the use of your lovely lake!  We spent several hours taking turns paddling around, enjoying the serenity and beauty, watched over by Mt Chocorua (which my wife and I climbed years ago).  I’m pleased to be able to support your efforts in maintaining this little treasure!”

"Although I now rarely get to make an in-person visit the Grove and be able to "inhale” from the Narrows Bridge the beauty of that quintessential, upper New England, experience — and have to rely, instead, upon the pictures of it — I continue to appreciate all that the Conservancy does to protect and maintain it for everyone to experience, hopefully in person."

“You are to be applauded for your efforts.  It’s better than going to the movies.”

“I am just one of the many who appreciate your efforts to keep up the bridge and picnic areas.  It is one of my all-time favorite things to do, stopping there whenever I’m in the area. Your organization is truly appreciated.”

"Our favorite stopping off place along Route 16."

“Thank you for providing this area to picnic and view the lake and mountain.”

“In the summer of 1940 and 1941 I worked at the Chocorua Inn to earn money for college, and have wonderful memories of enjoying the lake, picnicking and canoeing.”

"I would love to thank the trail maintenance crew for their spectacular efforts in cleaning up the Hammond Trail.  I thought that trail was damaged beyond repair as gargantuan trees the size of small cities blew down on the trail making it almost impossible to navigate.  I consider these folks “trail angels” and could not possibly thank you enough for repairing the damage done.  I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning when went up the Hammond Trail on Monday and witnessed what the crew had done.  I had just been up there on Friday, so having a crew get up there and complete the clean up on that trail in such short period is nothing shy of incredible. Thank you 1000 times over…you guys are the BEST!!!!!"

“Thanks for the nice stopping off place between Portsmouth and the White Mountains.  We’ve been doing this trek north for quite some time!”
