Ellacoya State Park on Newfound Lake pairs easy lake panoramas with forested shoreline. Shoot sunset reflections from the beaches, moody tree-lined coves after wind, and layered views across the water; in fall the shoreline foliage turns dramatic. Day-use is typically fee-based—arrive early for parking and quieter overlooks.
