On behalf of the board of directors of the Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC), I want to thank this wonderful community for supporting our organization’s recently completed Timeless Chocorua capital campaign.

Mount Chocorua was long said to bear the name of Chief Chocorua, a fictitious Native American who, according to legends created by white colonists, lived with his young son in the area that is now Tamworth, New Hampshire, in the early 1700s.

One trail is said to have been used by Native Americans before the English arrived on these shores. Some trails begin as a road or bridle path, others are created expressly as hiking trails.
