Clough State Park

Clough State Park sits along Everett Lake with a sandy beach for swimming and a series of open spaces for recreation. The layout includes designated play areas and spots where people can rest on the shoreline.

The park was established in 1964 following the construction of a dam on the Piscataquog River that created the lake. This project transformed the landscape into a public recreation destination.

The park serves as a gathering place where residents come to swim, fish, and paddle in non-motorized boats throughout the year. These activities shape how the local community experiences and values the waterfront.

The park provides parking areas and boat launch points for visitors who want to use the water. Coming early during warm months helps secure a good spot since popular areas fill up quickly.

The lake was created by damming a river and sits surrounded by nine state forests in the area. These surrounding woodlands connect the park to a larger network of protected natural spaces.
