* The Contoocook Lake Area Preservation Association (CLAPA) was formed in August 1969 as a non-profit 501c3 organization, to preserve the natural beauty and surrounding area of Contoocook Lake and it’s watershed.
* The State of New Hampshire owns the lake and maintenance falls on local volunteer efforts. Contoocook Lake is located in Jaffrey, NH and Rindge, NH.
* Public boating access to the lake is off of County Road and there is a public beach maintained by the town of Jaffrey at the Eastern end of the lake adjacent to Squantum Road.
* Four season lake activities are available to all residents and visitors, including fishing, power boating, kayaking, sailing, canoeing, paddle boarding, water skiing, tubing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice skating and snow shoeing.
* CLAPA is not a property owners association, but a membership group, open to all who have a common goal to protect the environment and well being of Contoocook Lake. If you are not a member of CLAPA, please consider joining by going to our membership page.

One of our major ongoing maintenance efforts has been to control the invasive species variable milfoil in our lake. Our monitoring, diving, and treatment efforts have resulted in a significant reduction of new plants since 2018. Click HERE for an update!
