About Surry Mountain Lake Beach

Nestled along the winding Ashuelot River in Surry, New Hampshire, Surry Mountain Lake Beach welcomes day-trippers to a scenic U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility where golden sand meets gentle river waters. This family-friendly destination blends natural beauty with thoughtful amenities—from its expansive swimming beach and shaded picnic shelters to a convenient boat ramp and cheerful playground. Whether you're launching a kayak for a peaceful paddle, casting a line into the river, or simply spreading out a blanket on the sun-warmed grass, this riverside retreat offers the perfect escape for a memorable day outdoors.
This is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers day-use facility with picnic shelters and group day-use reservations; it does not provide overnight camping or lodging.
Natural Features and SceneryThe centerpiece of this riverside haven is its generous stretch of sandy beach, where soft golden sand slopes gently into the clear waters of the Ashuelot River. Beyond the beach, expansive grassy areas roll along the shoreline, offering plenty of room to spread out beneath the open sky. The natural setting strikes a perfect balance—open enough to soak in the sunshine and river views, yet surrounded by the gentle beauty of New Hampshire's landscape, creating an inviting atmosphere for families and nature lovers alike.
