Highly suggest hiking this counterclockwise. Great 360 degree views from the top and a climbable fire tower!

There are nice views of Highland Lake to be had from here on the Franklin Highway. It is worth even getting closer to the shoreline for a better view. The Northern Rail Trail runs adjacent to you between the shore and the highway, and it runs directly alongside the lake. It is easy to turn off here to get an even better place to take a break and enjoy the view.

There is a public beach and car parking here at the south end of Webster Lake. Whether you are cycling along Webster Road or along the Northern Rail Trail, it is worth a stop here to look at the views. There is also a small, compact covered bridge with exposed side trusses, which is gorgeous to look at going over Chance Pond Brook. In addition, there are also rest rooms here if the need arises.

Elkins Beach is a little sandy inlet on the eastern side of Pleasant Lake. It's a great place to stop and catch your breath and enjoy views across the water.

Little Sunapee Lake is a pretty lake along Little Sunapee Road, a mostly flat road in a quiet residential area. This is a scenic spot in this otherwise urban area.

There's a public beach here on the south side of Webster Lake. The lake itself is one of the biggest — and prettiest — landmarks along the Northern Rail Trail. If you don't mind a little road running, you can also put together a nice loop run around the lake.

This beach is a great spot to cool off or hop in the water for a swim — as long as you stay within the marked areas. Beach staff are available only during the summer (they will not be on site after Labor Day) and no dogs or other pets are allowed.

If you're looking for a nice nature walk in an urban setting, walking around Little Sunapee Lake is a good choice. Although you'll be walking on the roadside it's a quiet, mostly flat byway that you might find yourself sharing with runners and bikers — and of course the gorgeous backdrop of the lake.
