In Memory of Bob Nugent

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Bob Nugent on January 10, 2021.

Bob was a founding member of the Sunset Lake Association and held positions as either a board member or delegate throughout the history of the organization. Bob had a passion for the environment and helped fund projects relating to water quality testing and protecting Sunset Lake from invasive species.

Bob's family has suggested that a good way to honor Bob would be to make a donation to the Sunset Lake Association in his name. We will be sure to use all donations to continue Bob's legacy of preserving the health and scenic beauty of Sunset Lake and its surroundings for current and future generations.

You can make a donation online by clicking the button below or by mailing a check made out to "Sunset Lake Association" to:

Sunset Lake Association, P.O. Box 135, Hampstead, NH 03841

If mailing a check, please indicate that it is a donation in Bob's honor.

Thank you!

About Us

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 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.

What We Do

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.

About Sunset Lake

Sunset Lake in Hampstead, NH, also known as Wash Pond, is 151 acres in area and is a mile long and a half mile wide. The center of the lake is 30 to 35 feet deep. The town of Hampstead maintains a beach on Sunset Lake which is open to all town residents. There is no boat launch open to the general public.
