Sunset Lake Annual Drawdown

The dam was opened Columbus Day weekend, dropping the water level so that property owners can perform fall and winter shoreline maintenance, to minimize winter ice damage to shorefronts, and to reduce the chance of flooding during the spring thaw.

About Us

Who We Are

Who We Are

Who We Are

The Sunset Lake Association (SLA) was formed in 1982 to help protect our natural resource, promote education, and work with local agencies who want to keep the lake beautiful and healthy for all future generations. We are a membership based organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the lake and serving the best interests of the people owning property on the shores of, or having legal deeded access to, Sunset Lake (a.k.a. Wash Pond) in Hampstead, NH. As an association we bring together the energies, talents, and funds of individuals for common efforts. We welcome any Hampstead resident or non-resident who enjoys Sunset Lake and is interested in protecting and preserving it for current and future generations to join our organization.

What We Do

Who We Are

Who We Are

The SLA performs regular water testing in conjunction with the University of New Hampshire (UNH), assists in the annual Loon population count, provides boater safety education with the NH Marine Patrol, and holds fun events such as a decorated boat parade, paddle events, and participates in the annual Hampstead Holiday Parade. The SLA is also responsible for maintaining the lake water level through monitoring weather conditions and adjusting the dam as well as controlling the annual draw down. We have also adopted the main roads surrounding Sunset Lake and hold cleanup events in the spring and fall.
