From jct I-89 & I-91 in VT: Go 5 mi N on I-91 (exit 13-Hanover, NH-Dartmouth College), then turn E and cross the Connecticut River into Hanover, NH (street becomes Wheelock St), 1 mi E on Wheelock St, 1 mi N on Hwy 10, then 1 mi E on Reservoir.
While my family and I have not yet used the facilities and amenities of what looks like a great recreation area, we are planning to as the season starts. Between the pond swimming, fishing, boating, tennis, camping, hiking, mountain biking and outdoor pool activities there will be lots of outdoor fun, I hope!
Beautiful campsite next to the pond - site #10 - offered water and 30amp electricity. Washroom was impeccably clean. Rare campground run as a municipal park. Cudos to Hanover for being so friendly to campers. Only downside was no restroom access due to my after hours arrival - all keys had been taken.
This place offers a lot. Has a challenging disc golf course. Make sure your up for hiking if your disc golfing. Amazing views and located beautiful Hanover. Bring back pack and lots of water. Not good for carts.
It has a small rope challenge course in the woods and balance beams. It has campsites and a small clean beach. It also has a ski jump I am assuming for the winter. It has a pool and bathrooms and tennis courts. It would be a cool place to camp at for sure.
We camped here just overnight, but had a hard time even enjoying a fire due to so much trash and food debris scattered throughout our camp spot. For $50/night these conditions are totally unacceptable.
If you go in the winter, be prepared for the new cross country ski loop that takes over part of this trail. It's a wonderful new FREE addition to this area that we'll be taking advantage of next winter. It's mostly easy to avoid groomed trails, but there are small sections that are unavoidable. Just be a good citizen and walk on the very edge so you don't mess it up for the skiers (or run the risk of getting mowed down).
