Duncan Lake Island

Best Island Adventure Right Here!

You will show up to a beautiful dock and unload your belongings. Walk forward into NH’s beautiful lake scenery and begin to unwind. There is a charcoal grill and blackstone propane grill. A firepit to curl up to. Excellent fishing opportunities and you will see beautiful wildlife in the water. Float out by the dock. Catch a deep sun tan. Sleep under the stars. You will be on your own little oasis. Levi is a message away and super friendly. The area is crisp water and clean land. Bring a solar shower. Get refreshed and do it all again the next day. Wake up to the loon calls and fall asleep to them at night. Pack what you bring in and pack what you bring out. We used a paddle boat and had a dream like time! Book with Levi and reach out to him if you have questions. Directions are easy, 5-10 minute paddle. Pop on a true crime podcast, music, or just vibe in nature. My favorite part of the trip: my dogs loved the island. Lounging in the sun everywhere. You have a boat launch and a public beach to work with. Just be quick at the boat launch because it is small and respect the locals! Enjoy your time! I know we sure did-Zara, Clayton, Cocoa, and Rufio! Thank you Levi!

Duncan Lake Island

I really enjoyed the island it was a nice getaway! My only thing is I feel it should be posted as private property more than one sign because I woke up from a nap from strangers on the island walking towards my camp site. Other than that it was beautiful I’ll definitely be back.

Island life.

Great island on a small lake. Not glamping. Just a nice empty island. Snakes. A nice red squirrel frogs . loons. just what you want. Kayak ride is about 5-10 minutes So only bring what you need, unless you have a big canoe Only problem was he says they had firewood on island. They DO NOT. Just piles up huge chainsawed tree logs that are too big to do anything with and totally soaking wet. So having to go back into town to get wood stunk. But besides that thumbs up.

Private island Camping

Amazing little island perfect for primitive camping! We spent two nights but wish it was longer. Walk from parking to launch beach is a little rough if you have a lot of stuff. Parking lot also has port a potty and changing rooms. Short paddle to the island. Very quiet and private. Can’t wait to come back in September.

Duncan Lake Island

Hands down BEST tent camping ever!

This place is gorgeous! Loved having the whole place to ourselves. We had a blast snorkeling in the water around the island, picking blueberries for our pancakes, finding flat rocks to paint, and hunting for the perfect marshmallow roasting stick to use while sitting around the fire after cooking dinner together. We all wanted to stay longer! Levi was pleasant and quick to answer any questions I had and even gave me a pointer!
