Historic Profile: Lonesome Lake Hut

  • Historic view of Lonesome Lake Hut. Photo: AMC ArchivesStarted as fishing cabins which were built in 1876 by author W.C. Prime.
  • Became part of the AMC hut system in 1929 when the state of New Hampshire bought the surrounding land and invited the club to run the camp.
  • Was the first hut of the Western Division.
  • Lived up to its name—Lonesome Lake has always been the quietest of the huts (until recently when it became popular with families).
  • Had its women's bunkroom demolished in 1950. Tents provided a temporary substitute.
  • Managed by the first all-female hut crew of the system in 1979.
