Pawtuckaway Lake Nottingham NH

Pawtuckaway Lake is an incredibly popular lake with a little over 800 acres of water and many miles of shore line and coves to explore. Pawtuckaway State Park is also located in Nottingham NH and it is home to a very popular state campground. This is an awesome state park which offers 5,500 acres for camping, you can hike or bike the park exploring the many trails, picnicking, fishing, swimming and boating. The park sits on the shores of Pawtuckaway Lake with a great sandy beach and concession stands to enjoy. The state charges reasonable day use rates as well as camping fees.

The town of Nottingham also has a town beach which is for residents only and the state of New Hampshire offers public access both at the State Park and at the boat launch area.

Jay and I love kayaking here, fishing and boating of any kind are very popular on the lake. Public access with boat launches and 803 acres of lake make this very desirable…so be sure to get here early!

There are currently 5 waterfront homes for sale on Pawtuckaway Lake ranging in price from 429,900 to 799,000, so if you’re on the market for waterfront living this is a must explore area.

We spent a fun night with friends on Pawtuckaway Lake recently, it was quiet on the lake as the season hasn’t really begun yet and it was so beautiful. I couldn’t resist filming a couple of videos.

NH Waterfront…an abundance of choices

Southern New Hampshire is lucky to be home to many lovely lakes and ponds and since Jay and I love to kayak it’s the perfect spot for us to live. We’ve enjoyed kayaking on many of our lakes. Some are private so you would need to know someone who lives on the water or in some cases just lives in that town. Like Hampstead’s popular Sunset Lake is open to all residents, so no need to live on the water to have access to it.

There are many fantastic NH waterfront homes for sale in all price ranges all over Southern NH. If you’re interested in purchasing a New Hampshire waterfront home or just looking to a find a lake or pond to enjoy for a day or two you come to the right place.

Buying a NH waterfront home can be exciting and working with a buyer agent who understands the lakes and towns will help you narrow down the selection to that prefect lake or pond that will meet all your needs. I’ve listed a few of our local ponds and lakes but there are many more options for NH waterfront lovers.

If you’re into fishing and flat water boating…like kayaking New Hampshire’s Fish and Game department has a pretty complete list of public access ponds for fishing but of course boating counts as well. Need information about depths of these ponds check out the Depth maps.

Some of our local ponds are listed below. There are many more we’ve been out on and love dearly.
