Wellington State Park
Wellington State Park is a 220-acre (89 ha) public recreation area located on the southwest shore of Newfound Lake in Bristol, New Hampshire.Activities include swimming, fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking and picnicking.[3] A 7-mile (11 km) trail system that begins in the park leads hikers to the top of Little and Big Sugarloaf mountains.[4] The park owes its existence to the largesse of Elizabeth R. Wellington, who in 1931 turned over a tract of land known as the Wellington Reservation to the state for the handsome sum of $1.The Civilian Conservation Corps developed the park during the 1930s.
