If you wanted to see the Sunapee trout, you might be inclined to search in its namesake, New Hampshire’s Lake Sunapee. But this elusive fish has long been extirpated from the Granite State, and from neighboring Vermont, where it once lived in the Northeast Kingdom’s Averill Lakes. A variation may have once lived in a few New York State waters such as Lake George or Lake Champlain. Sunapee trout remains in 14 bodies of water in Maine, which harbors the last endemic populations in the lower 48 states.
