6th Annual Lake Sunapee Rock Bass Derby -
Launched by student Corey
McGrath as a way to have fun while controlling the predatory Rock Bass
(Red Eye Bass), which were accidentally introduced into Lake Sunapee.

not allowing other fish to survive. They need to be removed from the
Lake ~ and we need everyone's help!)
Our Derby has become a
family tradition around the lake for young and old alike - having fun
and earning prizes while controlling these pesky fish. Last year over
2000 rock bass were donated to the Squam Lake Science Center. All are welcome! No limit to team sizes.
Pre-register at Dewey Beach. Fish all day starting at 6:00 a.m. Weigh in
is 11:00 (sharp) to 1:00 pm in Sunapee Harbor. No cost to participate. Fishing license
required for 16 years and older and can be purchased online at

A Forested
Hill, Pristine Brook and Sparkling Lake -
Join Dave Anderson,
Society for the Protection of NH Forests Director of Education
andKathleen Stowell Lake Sunapee Protective Association Education
Director and learn about the relationship between the land use history
of Sunset Hill, the water quality of pristine Beech Brook and their
respective contributions to the sparkling character of Lake Sunapee.
From headwater springs deep in the Forest Society’s Hay Forest
Reservation on Sunset Hill to it’s outlet on the natural shoreline at
The Fells, Beech Brook flows through protected, conservation land and is
unique in the Lake Sunapee watershed. After centuries of farming, the
last 18 years of water quality data from LSPA monitoring of Lake Sunapee
tributaries reveals that Beech Brook ranks among the cleanest brooks
with the lowest phosphorus and specific conductivity, two reliable
measures of human activities in the watershed. Co-sponsored by the Lake
Sunapee Protective Association.
