Located about five miles east of the town of Weare, Clough State Park is located on the shore of Everett Lake, a 150-acre lake formed by a dam on the Piscataquog River. The park is open weekends only from Memorial Day, and daily from late June through Labor Day. Admission is $3 for adults; $1 for children ages 6-11; children ages 5 and under and NH residents age 65 and over are admitted free.
The park offers a variety of fishing opportunities in the 150-acre Everett Lake. Anglers can catch largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and pickerel here. A boat launch is available for those who prefer to fish from watercrafts. Ice fishing is also popular during winter months when conditions allow it.
