About
Surry Mountain Lake Beach is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers day-use facility located on the Ashuelot River in Surry, New Hampshire, near the Surry Mountain Dam, which was built in 1941 and is the oldest USACE flood control dam in the Upper Connecticut River Basin. This recreation area provides a large 600-foot sandy beach with open grassy areas and scenic views of Surry Mountain, making it a popular destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts. The facility features three group picnic shelters with electric hookups available for reservation, along with numerous picnic tables and grills scattered throughout the park. A boat ramp accommodates small boats, kayaks, and canoes, with a 10-hp engine limit on the lake. Other amenities include flush restrooms, a playground, and ample parking. Popular activities include swimming (swim at your own risk, no lifeguards), fishing for bass and stocked trout in the Ashuelot River, paddling, wildlife viewing, and photography. The park operates on a carry-in, carry-out trash policy. As a flood control facility, the park may be flooded during severe storm events, and beach advisories may be posted due to water quality issues. Dogs are permitted on leash except in the beach area. This is a day-use only facility with no overnight camping available. The operating hours are Wednesday through Sunday 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, with Mondays and Tuesdays designated as walk-in access days when the park office and certain amenities may not be available.
