The Beauty And Wonder Of Connecticut Lakes Rentals

By Ted Beehler


Coos County, New Hampshire has many Connecticut Lakes rentals, offering among the most spectacular landscapes in northern New England. These four lovely lakes reach from Pittsburg through national forest to the Canadian border with Quebec. Maine is just to the east and with Route 3, called the Daniel Webster Highway, it's easy to reach your holiday rental at the lake. The scenery offers stunning water, mountains and forest ready to explore.

There's lots of choice in accommodation throughout the region, with modern lakeshore villas, private and superbly designed, through inns, motels and Pittsburg NH lodging in the village. Choose your traditional, rustic cabin or go for a hotel. This area is far from overcrowded, meaning you'll always find a peaceful, quiet spot. The company might well be moose, not people.

The biggest and closest lake to Pittsburg, just five miles distant, is First Connecticut Lake, over five miles in length and almost three wide. The lakes aren't all that originally named, they move on to Second, Third and up to Fourth, the smallest and farthest north. But what they lack in originality name wise is made up for in their beautiful scenery.

Acres totalling 25,000 have been protected as reserves since 2002. Coleman State Park and Connecticut Lake Estate Forest are now regional parks as well. This area is paradise for wildlife, mostly unspoilt and undeveloped. Enjoy the natural beauty, at a distance from any crowds.

In winter, it's transformed into a snowy wonderland, with snowmobile trails, and in summer it's ideal for hiking and fishing. In fact, the best access up to Fourth Lake and across into Canada is on foot, via a well-marked trail. The Appalachian Trail is also nearby.

The Connecticut River's headwaters give great opportunities for fly fishing. Just waiting for you are abundant salmon plus trout. In these plentiful ponds, rivers and streams you'll find brook, brown, rainbow or lake trout, as well as landlocked salmon. There's superb ice fishing between January and April.

Many of the Connecticut Lakes rentals are situated in a wildlife lover's paradise. As well as the plentiful moose, you should be able to see coyotes, shy deer, turkeys in the wild and even bears as well. Amongst the most peaceful ways to enjoy this pristine water paradise is to head out by kayak with the family. The luxury mountain getaways NH has to offer are in a wilderness environment, clear of all high rises that offer a real escape from the pressures of modern city living.
