For those who want to explore beyond the lake, opportunities abound for recreation, sightseeing, and dining. Check out local eateries in New London or nearby Sunapee. Hiking trails are plentiful—a hike up Mount Kearsarge yields wonderful vistas.
Pleasant Lake is in the village of Elkins, a part of New London. Sunday night band concerts are held at the local bandstand. The Elkins Chapel is just down the road from Rocky Point Lodge.
New London is a small New England college town (Colby-Sawyer College) with a well attended summer stock theater (New London Barn Playhouse) and beautiful scenery. Check out this hidden gem on a rainy day!
There are a number of fine public golf courses in the area. Lake Sunapee Country Club and Country Club of NH are easily accessible.
Dartmouth College, Quechee (home to Simon Pearce Restaurant and glassblowing demos), and numerous antique shops are within easy reach from the Rocky Point Lodge cottages. The nearby Montshire Museum of Science is worth a stop.
For the more adventuresome, a trip to the White Mountains, Franconia Notch, and Mt. Washington are rewarding experiences.
