To see Lake Sunapee, there is no better way than to catch the 150-passenger m/v Mount Sunapee II, which leaves Sunapee Harbor marina on a 90-minute narrated cruise-tour of the beautiful, very pure lake.

In the summer, Sunapee hosts very well-attended flea markets on NH Route 103B at the blinking light (between Sunapee Harbor and Sunapee Lower Village). Both buyers and sellers flock to the intersection's roadsides, and everything from craftwork through antiques to junk is available.

Lake Sunapee is a Class A reservoir—the water is about as pure and unpolluted as you'll find anywhere.

Mount Sunapee State Park has the best beach in the area, with changing rooms and picnic areas, and a cablecar to the summit of Mount Sunapee (2743 feet/836 meters).

Mount Sunapee, the mountain itself, is organized as Mount Sunapee Resort, with skiing in winter. Operated by the same company that runs Vermont's Okemo Mountain Resort and Colorado's Crested Butte. At the summit there are walking trails (not difficult) to an overlook and to a glacial tarn named Lake Solitude.
