Gunnison Lake is a 60-acre man-made lake tucked away along the back side of Mount Sunapee, located off Route 31, and accessible by Gunnison Lake Road or Four Corners Road.
Named for John Williams Gunnison, an American explorer born in Goshen in 1812, it is a hidden gem nicknamed “The Goshen Ocean” by locals who have been hiking, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, picnicking and birding there since its creation in 1983.
The Ruth LeClair Trail is a gently winding path through woods filled with hemlock, maple, beech and ferns as it cuts through several stone walls.
