About the Park

Clough State Park is located on the shore of Everett Lake, a 150-acre lake was formed by a dam that was built in 1962 on the Piscataquog River. The park now has a 900-foot sandy beach where guests can lay out their beach towels and enjoy grilling and swimming. While you’re there be sure to visit the Park Store for snacks and ice cream, or to rent one of our boats and get out on the water! There are no lifeguards on duty.

*Note about GPS Navigation: Check your destination/location carefully as some GPS applications may be inaccurate. Clough State Park is not accessible from the Hopkinton-Everett Trails Area (Dunbarton Riding Area) off of Ray Road (Burroughs Road is a gated/dirt road). For an alternate address use Everett Dam Road in Weare, NH (the state park beach is located next to Everett Dam).
