187 Acres. One Community.
A Pond Worth Protecting.

A protected, cherished natural resource in the heart of the Lake Sunapee region.

Our Mission

The Otter Pond Protective Association serves to improve and preserve the quality of Otter Pond, through the promotion of proper water, shoreline and watershed practices, avoidance of invasive species and pollution, and collaboration on protective efforts; all to ensure the value, enjoyment and longevity of Otter Pond for current and future generations.

Clean Water

Otter Pond is classified as mesotrophic with exceptionally clear water. Keeping it that way takes all of us.

Rich Wildlife

Home to loons, otters, eagles, osprey, bass, trout, and much more. A thriving ecosystem worth protecting.

Community Stewardship

Founded in 1980, OPPA is member-driven. Every resident, landowner, and visitor has a role to play.

We love our pond for the beautiful sunrises, the view of the marsh, and the all-season recreation.

Get Involved

OPPA volunteers are the lifeblood of our community.

Join a working group, attend a meeting, or simply share your commitment to the pond.
