Newfound Lake, often referred to as "New Hampshire's best kept secret," borders the towns of Bristol, Bridgewater, Hebron, and Alexandria and has been a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and vacationers since the late 1880s. Charming cottages and inns formed around the lake to meet the needs of the growing tourism industry. In Newfound Lake, rare postcard images, primarily from the authors' private collection, transport the reader back to these special moments in time.

Newfound Lake located in the towns of Bristol, Alexandria, Bridgewater and Hebron, New Hampshire has long been known for the purity of its water and the beauty of its watershed. It also has an interesting human history. This book gives a look at tens of thousands of years of lake history, and about ten thousand years of human history associated with the lake. This is not a history of the towns surrounding the lake. Rather, a history of the lake itself and the activities, natural and human, that have occurred upon its water and shore. This book contains over 50 color photos, 18 maps and 9 data and information charts.

An American poet once said that you should pack your boat of life with "only what you need-a home and simple pleasures." A tribute to these simple pleasures is presented in Around Newfound Lake, a nostalgic journey through a rich collection of vintage photographs. We see views of town and country, work and leisure, celebrations and even disasters-a charming collage of daily life through a century of change. Newfound Lake occupies some 4,106 acres in the foothills of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Fed by underground springs, this pristine lake is nature's own recreation center. In quiet harmony with the lake are centuries-old towns and villages embracing its bounds: places such as Hill, Hebron, Groton, and New Hampton, known by other names and proprietary boundaries when first settled; Alexandria and Danbury, nestled at the foot of Mountains Cardigan and Ragged, respectively; Bridgewater, claiming the lion's share of the Newfound shoreline; and Bristol, the industrial hub.

Using the award-winning Wellington State Park on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire as home base, the author guides you around the Newfound Lake region encouraging you to "Come Play!" in her backyard. There are great descriptions with turn-by-turn directions for some of the best bike and kayak rides, hikes and walks. Great travel tips and local secrets highlight the best places to eat, shop and stay in the region.
