Danbury

Incorporated in 1795, Danbury once included the towns of Wilmot and Hill. Many lakes, ponds, parks and forests are here for hiking, swimming, kayaking, boating and picnicking. Gunnison Lake, a 60-acre man-made lake is tucked away along the backside of Mt. Sunapee. It is called “a hidden gem” by residents who have enjoyed it since 1983. The Ruth LeClair Memorial Trail, a gently winding path through plush woods, is filled with numerous trees as it cuts through several stone walls. Two bridges (built by a local Eagle Scout) span Baker Brook and Blood Brook at the easterly end of the lake. Ragged Mountain Resort, a ski resort with a vertical drop of 1,250 feet and spreads across 250 acres of land, offers three terrain parks and many glades. Ragged Mountain has the only six-person chairlift in NH. You will discover The Haunting Whisper Vineyard, a local vineyard which offers information about wine-making. “Warm and Inviting” was used in describing this wonderful establishment. The Danbury Country Store, a local favorite, is filled with everything a New England country store should have — plus more. Delicious food, friendly and welcoming staff, and even toys will invite you in. Browse and enjoy!
