Ossipee is located in the south eastern section of the Lakes and Mountains of New Hampshire. It is located just under two hours from Boston, Worcester and within an hour of Portland ME. Ossipee Lake consists of some 3245 acres, and is one of the more popular lakes in the area. Big Danhole pond is some 450 acres and is one of the best trout lakes in the state as well as having some of the most undeveloped shoreline in the area. Portions of the property overlook Danhole, which is believed to be one of the volcanic ventholes from the eruptions many years ago. The sites are also located just 35 minutes south of North Conway, which is the center of the Mt Washington Valley. These are located in a very rural area, but ease of access to Route 16 and 171 makes it accessible. The Ossipee Mountains are a famous (to geologists, at least) example of a ring dike complex. These geologic formations are scattered around the Northeast; Mount Pawtuckaway to the south is a smaller example. The Ossipee ring dike complex is noteworthy because it was the first of its kind to be studied, the outer ring dike is very nearly complete, and with a nine-mile diameter, pretty big. At the time the Ossipee ring complex probably first formed, it wouldn't have looked like a circular clump of wrinkly hills, as it does now. Over the last 122 million years, a combination of regional uplifts and erosion have shaped the hard igneous rock of the ring complex into the mountains we see today and created great soils. This is an area full of recreational opportunities and hiking and biking trails.
