Newfound Audubon Center Open seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The sanctuary trails are always open dawn to dusk. Call 603-224-9909 ext. 406 for more information.

We offer 2.5 miles of hiking trails and boat rentals to explore Newfound Lake's north shore! New Hampshire Audubon's mission is to protect New Hampshire’s natural environment for wildlife and for people. Newfound Audubon Center is one of three centers operated by New Hampshire Audubon. Located on the beautiful northern shore of Newfound Lake, the Newfound Audubon Center is comprised of four wildlife sanctuaries - the Paradise Point Nature Center, Ash Cottage at Hebron Marsh Sanctuary, the Bear Mountain Sanctuary, and the McLane Sanctuary. During the summer months, the Nature Center offers many programs for all ages, several interactive exhibits, live animal displays, and canoe, kayak, & SUP rentals. Our hiking and walking trails are open year-round. The purpose of this page is to share events, programs, and daily activities of the Newfound Audubon Center with our Newfound region community and visitors.

Greetings from Paradise Point Nature Center and Newfound Audubon Center Naturalist Jake!

"It has been an active summer for the birds and visitors of Paradise Point! Bald eagles and loons have been a near-daily sighting on the north shores of Newfound Lake, with fledgling eagles stretching out their wings and joining in on the fun in the last week or two. Rotating nature art projects and updated exhibits at the nature center will continue to be offered every Saturday now through August 22nd, so there is still plenty of time to come take a walk or rent a boat to see what kind of wildlife you might encounter. We are also excited to offer a series of special programs throughout the month of August including stargazing at Ash Cottage and a nature writing and eco-poetry workshop, so be sure to check out our Events Calendar and stop by for a visit before the end of the season!"
