Massabesic Lake

Highlight • Lake

Massabesic Lake is a beautiful 2,560-acre lake in Manchester and the town of Auburn. It is a recreational lake, and a very beautiful one at that. There are few vantage points for the cyclist to see the lake in all its glory, here is one of them, and going over Deerneck Bridge is another great viewpoint.

Sucker Brook

Highlight • River

Little Massabesic Brook and Sucker Brook come together to form a 1.9-mile-long stream. They are under the New Hampshire Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act due to their importance in the watershed. Look down from Manchester Road in the quaint town of Auburn and check out this nice view of Sucker Brook.
