Wellington State Park

About Wellington State Park

Wellington State Park on the banks of Newfound Lake in Bristol has improved its beach and picnic areas. The park also has volleyball and horseshoe courts, and two picnic pavilions for groups, which can be reserved, are located directly opposite the beach from the picnic area.

There is a jetty developed by N.H. Fish and Game that gives boaters free access to Newfound Lake.

Nature trails on the peninsula offer good opportunities - marked hiking trails and designated fishing areas throughout the park, and a snack bar is offered at the picnic area next to the beach and picnic pavilions, as well as at a picnic table near the coast.

Boat routes along the beach allow boaters to enter the park for regular entry, as well as access to Newfound Lake and the lake shore.

An organized youth group camp is offered on the Belle Cliff Islands, but reservations are required for this and other areas of the park. The park is open from Monday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm and from Friday to Sunday from 5.30 pm to 5.30 pm. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children under 18 and $2 for seniors and those with valid ID. Parking on Lake Newfoundland and on the lakeside, on the beach and on the shore is free.
