'''Lake Sunapee''' is located within [[Sullivan County, New Hampshire|Sullivan County]] and [[Merrimack County, New Hampshire|Merrimack County]] in western [[New Hampshire]], the [[United States]]. It is the fifth-largest lake located entirely in New Hampshire.

The lake is approximately ((convert|8.1|mi|km|1)) long (north-south) and from ((convert|0.5|to|2.5|mi|km|1)) wide (east-west), covering ((convert|6.5|sqmi|km2)),<ref>((Cite web|url=https://granit.unh.edu/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130803072027/http://www.granit.sr.unh.edu/|url-status=dead|title=GRANIT|archivedate=August 3, 2013|website=granit.unh.edu))</ref> with a maximum depth of ((convert|105|ft|m)).<ref name=NHFG>((cite web|url=http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/maps/bathymetry/sunapee_sunapee.pdf| title=SUNAPEE LAKE: Sunapee, Newbury, New London| publisher=New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game| access-date=June 29, 2015))</ref> It contains eleven islands (Loon Island, Elizabeth Island, Twin Islands, Great Island, Minute Island, Little Island, Star Island, Emerald Island, Isle of Pines and Penny Island) and is indented by several [[peninsula]]s and lake fingers, a combination which yields a total shoreline of some ((convert|70|mi|km|-1)). There are seven sandy beach areas including [[Mount Sunapee State Park]] beach; some with restricted town access. There are six boat ramps to access the lake at [[Sunapee, New Hampshire|Sunapee Harbor]], [[Georges Mills, New Hampshire|Georges Mills]], [[Newbury, New Hampshire|Newbury]], [[Mount Sunapee]] State Park, Burkehaven Marina, and a private marina. The lake contains three lighthouses on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. The driving distance around the lake is ((convert|25|mi)) with many miles of lake water view. The lake is ((convert|1093|ft)) above sea level.

The lake's outlet is in Sunapee Harbor, the headway for the [[Sugar River (New Hampshire)|Sugar River]], which flows west through [[Newport, New Hampshire|Newport]] and [[Claremont, New Hampshire|Claremont]] to the [[Connecticut River]] and then to the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. The lake discharges about 250 cubic feet per second (on average), and the Sugar River drops approximately ((convert|800|ft)) on its ((convert|27|mi|km|adj=on)) journey to the Connecticut River.

== History ==
((more citations needed section|date=May 2014))
Lake Sunapee is a [[glacial lake]]. The glaciers deposited large rocks scattered everywhere in the woods when the ice melted about 11,000 years ago. These rocks are called [[glacial erratic]]s. An example of a large glacial erratic can be found sitting on Minute Island in front of the John Hay Wildlife Refuge accessible along the wildlife shoreline trail.

The [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]], probably Algonquins, called the lake Soo-Nipi or "Wild Goose Waters" for the many geese that passed over the lake during migration. Lake Sunapee also resembles a bird ([[goose]]) in flight, with the bird's head as the harbor area, from an aerial view, and at times from Mount Sunapee.

Some local people can trace their [[ancestry]] back to the Penacooks who hunted geese in the autumn and fished for [[Brook trout|speckled trout]] using nets, weirs and spears.

=== The steamboat era ===
((more citations needed section|date=May 2014))
Following the extension of the [[B&M Railroad]] into [[Newbury, New Hampshire|Newbury]], Lake Sunapee became a popular vacation area long before the introduction of the automobile. The main rail station was at Newbury Harbor, the southernmost point of the lake. Today, the village contains a colorful antique [[caboose]] commemorating the railroad line that passed by, bringing vacationers from other parts of the country.

[[Steamboat]] service developed on the lake to accommodate the new populace. Steamships ferried passengers from the south end of the lake to cottages and large resort hotels around the lake. Bay Point, [[Blodgett Landing, New Hampshire|Blodgett Landing]], and Indian Cave, later known as Lake Avenue, were the most populated piers. One of the first commercial boats was actually propelled by horses in 1854.

[[Image:Sunapee dinner boat.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The [http://www.mvkearsarge.com/ MV ''Kearsarge''] on Lake Sunapee with Herrick Cove Lighthouse at a distance]]
N.S. Gardner purchased Little Island for $1.00 and put a bowling alley on it. He then launched the ''Penacook'' (later renamed ''Mountain Maid'') steamer to carry passengers to Little Island, and so the steamboat era began. The Woodsum brothers launched the ''Lady Woodsum'' in 1876. It was ((convert|50|ft|m|0)) long and could carry 75 passengers. The ((convert|90|ft|m|0|adj=on)) ''Edmund Burke'' was launched in 1885, carrying 600 passengers. In 1887, the ''Amenia White'' was launched; it was ((convert|101|ft|m|0)) long and carried 650. It was the flagship of the Woodsum fleet and the biggest steamer ever to sail Lake Sunapee.

In 1897 the ((convert|70|ft|m|adj=on|0)) steamship ''Kearsarge'' was launched carrying 250 passengers. In 1902 the ((convert|50|ft|m|adj=on|0)) ''Weetamoo'' was launched and was later scuttled near Newbury. The ship is still intact and is visited frequently by local [[scuba diving|scuba]] clubs. The pilothouse of the ''Kearsarge'' was salvaged from the lake in the 1960s and is on display at the Sunapee Historical Center.

The ((convert|52|ft|m|0|adj=on)) MV ''Mount Sunapee II'' was launched in 1965 and takes passengers on lake cruises in summer months. The original ''Mount Sunapee'' was named ''Susie Q'' and had been a [[rum-running|rum runner]] in [[Damariscotta, Maine]].

The ((convert|65|ft|m|0|adj=on)) MV ''Kearsarge'', named for the original steamship ''Kearsarge'', was built and launched on Lake Sunapee in 1970 as the ''Sunapee Belle,'' a replica of a Mississippi River boat, and operated as a dinner boat. In 1974, the original ''Sunapee Belle'' wooden hull was replaced with a steel hull. The hull was cut in half and lengthened to 65 feet in 1980, and the ''MV Kearsarge'' restaurant ship was built on top of the new hull.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://whereisthatboatgoing.com/a-little-history/|title = A Little History… – Where is that boat going?))</ref>

There were major steamer landings at Sunapee Harbor, Georges Mills, Lakeside Landing, Hastings Landing, Auburn Landing, Blodgett Landing, Brightwood, Pine Cliff, Lake Station, Soo-Nipi, Burkehaven, and Granliden to serve the grand hotels. The automobile led to the demise of the steamer era.

== Cities and towns ==
[[File:Loon_Lighthouse_Sunapee.jpg|thumb|250px|Loon Lighthouse; one of three lighthouses on Lake Sunapee]]
The lake is surrounded by three towns: [[Sunapee, New Hampshire|Sunapee]] lies to the west, incorporating the villages of Sunapee Harbor and [[Georges Mills, New Hampshire|Georges Mills]]; [[Newbury, New Hampshire|Newbury]] lies to its southeast and southwest; and [[New London, New Hampshire|New London]] is to its east.

== Facts about Lake Sunapee ==
((Unreferenced section|date=January 2014))
;  '''Depth''': At its deepest, Lake Sunapee is about ((convert|105|to|144|ft)) deep at a point called Hedgehog. Historical maps indicate a depth of ((convert|142|ft)), but no recent soundings have exceeded ((convert|108|ft)).

;  '''Water quality''':  The water is exceptionally pure. The water is captured frequently by the LSPA (Lake Sunapee Protective Association) and analyzed at the [[Colby-Sawyer College]] aquatic laboratory.  The source of much of the water comes from cold underground springs rising from a bedrock aquifer. On a sunny day, objects can be seen to a depth of ((convert|30|ft)). The lake has a generally rocky base ([[glacial erratics]]) and is currently [[Myriophyllum|milfoil]]-free, except for a ((convert|20|sqft|m2|0|adj=on)) quarantined area.

; '''Rainfall''': One inch of rainfall on the lake produces ((convert|116|e6USgal|m3)) of water. One inch in the ((convert|28800|acre|km2|0|adj=on)) watershed potentially produces nearly ((convert|900|e6USgal|m3)) of water in Lake Sunapee.

; '''Ice Out''': Records have been kept since 1869. The official "Ice Out" report was given by Artie Osborne until his death in 2010; now his son Richard Osborne carries that duty. Ice Out usually occurs in April each year. Occasionally Ice Out occurs in March or May, including: [[Image:Iceoutdatelakesunapee.jpg|thumb|300px|Taken at Sunapee Town Office September 20, 2011]]

[[Image:SunapeeHarbor BurkehavenHill2005.jpg|thumb|300px|Looking westward at Gardiner Bay, with entrance to Sunapee Harbor, upper left, and Burkehaven Hill; shows about 5% of Lake Sunapee water surface]]
; '''Golden trout and Sunapee trout''': ''Salvelinus aureolus oquassa'' (Bean 1887).  Common names: blueback trout, Sunapee trout. Other names: blueback char, golden trout, white trout.

:The Sunapee Historical Society published a report in 1968 about Sunapee's golden trout which had a dull silver color like the females most of the year.  The golden trout were really white trout, but in the fall, their nuptial season, the males turned a flaming color, attracting the name ''aureolus'' (golden halo). The golden trout had a forked tale rather than the square tail of the brook trout.

:On January 15, 1921, the Lake Sunapee Fish and Game Club was founded. Rearing tanks were built at Georges Mills in 1922, and 50,000 land-locked salmon, 12,000 chinook salmon, 10,000 silver trout, and 2,000 brook trout, all fingerlings, were reared and planted. By 1940, when the fishery was closed, it had planted 347,403 landlocked and chinook salmon, 196,040 trout, 345,000 mixed trout and salmon, and more than 70 million smelt eggs.

:With the introduction of lake trout into Sunapee, which was believed to be an error, the golden trout were bred out of existence.

; '''Fish of Lake Sunapee''':  [[Lake trout]] (which bred out the golden trout); landlocked salmon ([[Atlantic salmon]]) requiring deep, pure cold water; [[smallmouth bass]]; [[chain pickerel]]; [[yellow perch]]; [[brown bullhead]] catfish (commonly called "hornpout"); [[rock bass]] (red-eye bass)—predatory, introduced accidentally into the lake, population controlled with children's fishing contests((clarify|date=August 2015)); [[rainbow smelt]]; [[burbot]] (ling cod).

; '''Animals of the watershed''': It is not uncommon to spot a [[moose]] swimming across the lake in the morning; [[American black bear|black bear]]; [[red fox]]es; [[white-tailed deer|whitetail deer]]; [[porcupine]]s; [[woodchuck]]s; [[eastern cottontail]] rabbits; [[eastern chipmunk]]s; [[eastern gray squirrel|gray squirrels]], [[American red squirrel|red squirrels]]; [[northern flying squirrel]]s; [[raccoon]]s; [[North American beaver|beavers]]; [[muskrat]]s; [[American mink|mink]]; [[northern river otter|river otters]]; [[long-tailed weasel]]s; [[American marten]]s; [[Fisher (animal)|fishers]].

==Lake Sunapee watershed==
New Hampshire is divided into five large [[drainage basin|river basins]]. The Lake Sunapee watershed is part of the Connecticut River Basin. The watershed is surrounded by high hills and ((convert|55|sqmi|km2|0)) of town lands including parts of [[Sunapee, New Hampshire|Sunapee]], [[Newbury, New Hampshire|Newbury]], [[Sutton, New Hampshire|Sutton]], [[New London, New Hampshire|New London]], [[Springfield, New Hampshire|Springfield]] and [[Goshen, New Hampshire|Goshen]]. There are 35 streams or tributaries that empty into Sunapee. The land/water ratio is 7:1. A watershed is an ecosystem of animals, plants, micro-organisms and people who all affect the physical and chemical environment.

; '''Lakes in the Sunapee watershed region''':  A large number of lakes lie in the watershed that contributes to Lake Sunapee. Directly upstream from Georges Mills at the north end of the lake is Otter Pond (((convert|1125|ft|m|disp=or|abbr=on)) elevation), which in turn is fed by [[Little Sunapee Lake]]. Otter Pond is about ((convert|32|ft|m|0)) higher than Lake Sunapee, and Little Sunapee (((convert|1220|ft|m|disp=or|abbr=on))) is about ((convert|127|ft|m|0)) higher. Other lakes in the watershed include Baptist Pond, Star Lake, Morgan Pond, Dutchman Pond, Goose Hole, Mountainview Lake (((convert|1116|ft|m|disp=or|abbr=on))), and Chalk Pond, as well as numerous small, unnamed water bodies. (Ledge Pond (elevation 1309&nbsp;ft)<ref>See map prepared for Lake Sunapee Protection Association by June Fichter, 2007</ref> previously listed as being a lake in the Lake Sunapee watershed, actually flows directly to Sugar River and on to the Connecticut.)

; '''Mountains in the Sunapee watershed region''': To the north - Leavitt Hill, Hoyt Hill, Sanborn Hill, Morgan Hill; to the south - [[Mount Sunapee]], South Peak, Bly Hill; to the east - Kings Hill, Burpee Hill; to the west - Prospect Hill, Trow Hill, Brown Hill, Burkehaven Hill, Blaisdell Hill.

==GLEON - Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network==
[[File:Sunapee light.jpg|thumb|250px]]
The LSPA (Lake Sunapee Protective Association) has deployed the [[Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network]] (GLEON) System in an area of the lake just east of Loon Island Lighthouse. LSPA has been collecting ecology data for more than 100 years.

== Beaches on Lake Sunapee ==
[[Image:SunapeeStateBeach1.jpg|thumb|300px|Mount Sunapee State Park beach]]
Lake Sunapee has seven white sandy beach areas: Sunapee Harbor; Dewey Beach, Georges Mills, Newbury Harbor, Soo-Nipi, Granliden, and the [[Mount Sunapee State Park]] beach.

Mount Sunapee State Park offers activities for all seasons. Probably best known for its [[Mount Sunapee Resort|skiing and snowboarding]], the park also offers opportunities for front-country camping, hiking, and swimming on the beach on Lake Sunapee. The entrance to Mount Sunapee State Park Beach is on the traffic circle opposite the entrance to the [[Mount Sunapee Resort|Mount Sunapee ski area]] in Newbury off [[New Hampshire Route 103B|Route 103B]]. There is ample parking. The sandy shore slopes gradually to crystal-clear deeper waters allowing bathers an opportunity to wade waist high for some distance from the shore line. The beach is the starting point for an occasional Iron Man Triathlon one-half mile swim sprint off the beach, followed by a ((convert|100|mi|km|adj=on)) bike race around the lake, followed by a marathon run around Lake Sunapee.

Depending on weather, the park is open from 9:30 am – 7:30 pm. Entrance fees apply for lake access during the summer months.

[[Mount Sunapee]] abuts Lake Sunapee at the mid-southern end of the lake in Newbury.

== Lighthouses ==
There are five lighthouses in New Hampshire; two on the Atlantic shore and three on Lake Sunapee. The Lake Sunapee lighthouses are Loon Island Lighthouse, Burkehaven Lighthouse and Lakeside Lighthouse.

== Sunapee Dam ==
Lake Sunapee was the source of water power for the mills that were built on the banks of the Sugar River as it meandered through Newport and Claremont. Benjamin Giles built the first [[gristmill]] in 1768. Later in 1813, James Wolcott built a [[textile mill]] in Newport. The flow of water out of Lake Sunapee, however, was not regular; there would be either too much flooding or too much drought. Mills had to shut down in periods of low water.

In 1820, some proprietors formed a group that led to the formation of the Sunapee Dam Corporation which, through an act of the New Hampshire legislature, obtained sole control of the lake's water level. The Dam Corporation lowered the dam threshold to ((convert|10|ft|m|0)) below the low water mark with flood gates to control the level of the lake.

Operation of the dam was uneventful from 1820 to 1858. By 1858 tourism became an important industry as more people were attracted to the beauty of Lake Sunapee. As the lake was lowered to power mills, the steamboats had difficulty maneuvering the waters, and farmers had to extend fences out into the water to contain livestock. Docks had to be extended.

The controversy over the management of the water level became more contentious and continued to the turn of the 20th century. The New Hampshire legislature began to shift policy and concluded that (i) Lake Sunapee was mismanaged, and (ii) that all the lakes in New Hampshire should be managed for the benefit and access of the public. In 1905, legal actions ensued until finally all the parties to the suit, including the Lake Sunapee Protective Association, founded in that same year, agreed that the lake level must be maintained within the range of 1,108.5' and 1,111.5' elevation.<ref>White, Jane (Summer 2006), "The Whole Dam Story",  ''Soo Nipi Magazine'', XXIII (2): 17-21. [http://www.soonipi.com www.soonipi.com]; accessed June 28, 2006</ref>

== Sailing ==
The Lake Sunapee Yacht Club is host to 23 [[Star (sailboat)|Starboats]], one of the largest inland fleets of the Olympic-class vessel. The Sunapee Starboat Regatta is the largest unsanctioned sailing event in the US. Lake Sunapee's own Brad Nichol and his teammate Andy Horton, Starboat contenders for the 2008 Olympics, were named 2006 Team of the Year by [https://web.archive.org/web/20070103160252/http://www.ussailing.org/pressreleases/2006/aoy2006.htm US SAILING], the national governing body of sailing in the United States.

== Lake Sunapee Protective Association ==

The LSPA is the oldest environmental association in New Hampshire. The association has been working to protect and preserve lake Sunapee and other lakes in the region since 1898. "The lake is the one jewel that calls us all here," said the first president, Colonel Hopkins of LSPA. LSPA has been testing the waters of Lake Sunapee since 1950. Water is collected regularly and analyzed at [[Colby-Sawyer College]] Labs. The LSPA also maintains a Live Buoy and three professional-grade weather instruments with rain gauges at three locations on the lake.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.lakesunapee.org/live-buoy|title=Live Buoy|website=LSPA))</ref> LSPA is a non-profit educational association.
