Graylag's Story

Join the Graylag community

The Friends of Graylag are neighbors and community members who provide extra support to the nature preserve through a donation or by volunteering their time. In addition to helping Graylag thrive, Friends receive a pass that allows year-round access to the trails, an early reservation window for the summer season, and invitation to special Friends events. We hope you will join us.

Help build Lakeside Pavilion!

A Place to Gather

After years of dreaming and planning, we’ve broken ground on the open-air Lakeside Pavilion, located where the old garage once stood beside Lakeside Cottage. We are transforming that underutilized storage area into a fully accessible, four-season gathering space for educational, cultural, and community programs. We invite you to help us!

Guided Loon Paddle

July 23, July 29, or August 5 at 4 pm

Join biologists from the Loon Preservation Committee to learn about these beautiful, iconic birds. Learn how to safely observe loons, interpret their behaviors and vocalizations, and discuss the management work being done to help them—and all of New Hampshire’s loons—thrive. REGISTRATION REQUIRED.

Yoga at Graylag

Tuesday mornings, 9:30 - 10:45 am

Mary Ellen Shannon, certified yoga teacher and Reiki Master as well as long-time friend and steward of the land here at Graylag, will be offering an all-levels Hatha flow yoga class on Tuesday mornings. Classes include relaxation, meditation, asanas, and guided breathing.

"Our time at Graylag was exactly what we had hoped for — an oasis of natural calm and beauty that seemed a world away from the constant interference of technology and the hubbub of people that make up our everyday world."

— A Graylag guest

Experience the beauty, peace, and quiet of Graylag by staying in one of our comfortable, beautifully furnished cabins.

A Graylag stay is a great choice for families and friends who want to leave everyday life behind and get close to the natural world of the New England woodlands. Swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, and hiking will energize your days, and quiet starry evenings are punctuated only with the calls of owls and loons.
