US Army Corps of Engineers · New Hampshire
This picturesque lake prohibits the use of gasoline motorboats. Trout are stocked both above and below the dam by the State. Recreational facilities include horseshoe pits, picnic areas, hiking trails, ballfields, grills, drinking water, an interpretive trail, restrooms, a boat launch ramp and swimming area.
Reservations for Otter Brook Lake are made through Recreation.gov. In peak season, the most popular campgrounds are typically claimed within minutes of each release — which is why the park reads as "sold out" for most of the year.
Sold out is not final, though. People book far ahead and plans change, so cancellations return to the official calendar throughout the season — with no announcement, at any hour. A cancelled site is bookable by whoever sees it first.
