Purity Spring Resort
You may never want to leave the lake and beaches at this picturesque resort
1251 Eaton Road (Route 153) East Madison, NH 03849 603-367-8896 You could spend your entire vacation at the Purity Spring Resort and never want to leave the lake. That’s because there are so many activities centered on the pristine waters and sandy beaches. There’s swimming, of course, and you can take out one of the resort’s stand-up paddle boards for a glide across the water. Or, bring your kayak or canoe to paddle around the lake. You can fish for pickerel, small-mouth bass and, for the kids, sunfish and panfish. Book a private charter session to go waterskiing, wakeboarding or kneeboarding. Many of the resort’s accommodations – rooms, condos and cottages – have lake views in addition to features like fireplaces and screened-in porches, and fire pits are great places to take in lake breezes, sunsets and evening stars.
