Welcome to the Slim Baker Foundation, a non-profit organization created to oversee the Slim Baker Area for Outdoor Living.

The Slim Baker Area is a 135-acre tract of conserved land on Little Roundtop Mountain in Bristol, New Hampshire, set up in 1953 as a memorial to Everett “Slim” Baker, a dedicated and much-loved local conservation officer with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Slim dreamed of setting up a “school for outdoor living” in the Newfound Lake area, and the Slim Baker Area is the fulfillment of that dream. For over six decades, the foundation has adhered to the two goals of the organization’s original founding document:

• To provide programs of outdoor recreation, nature study, and practical conservation for residents of the Newfound area and visitors.

• To perpetuate the memory, ideals and ideas of Everett D. “Slim” Baker, long-time resident and conservation officer of the area, and true lover of nature and mankind.

The Slim Baker Area is maintained by the Slim Baker Foundation, and open year-round for hiking, snowshoeing, and camping.
