Home to abundant wildlife, Grey Rocks visitors may spot everything from beaver, bullfrogs, and turtles, to diverse species of waterfowl and Newfound's resident pair of nesting bald eagles. From the non-motorized boat launch, pad- dlers and rowers can make their way to the Cockermouth River, the Hebron marsh, or into the open waters of Newfound Lake. In 2016, with a grant from the Newfound Area Charitable Fund, NLRA published the Northern Newfound Water Trail, a help- ful map for boaters detailing the numerous points of interest along the north shore of Newfound Lake. On land, Grey Rocks visi- tors can enjoy 1.5 miles of trails, viewing platforms, and picnic tables. Well-behaved dogs are al-

Grey Rocks is open year-round, with trails maintained by NLRA’s volunteer Snowshoe Crew and the
