Snow skiing and snowboard riding are popular winter activities at Mount Sunapee Ski Area. The ski area lies within Mount Sunapee State Park, but in 1998 the State leased the 968 acre ski area of the Park to be operated by Tim and Dianne Mueller, who own Okemo Mountain Resort. New lifts were added in 2004.

The State Park's extensive trail system is used in all seasons for hiking and in winter for snowshoeing. The Park is linked to Pillsbury State Park and southern New Hampshire by the 50-mile Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway and to the ten-town Lake Sunapee region by the 75-mile "emerald necklace" of the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge (SRK) Greenway which connects Mt. Sunapee to Wadleigh State Park in Sutton and to Winslow and Rollins State Parks on Mount Kearsarge in Warner and Wilmot. From the ski area parking, the Summit Trail travels two miles along the western slope to the Summit, where it meets the Solitude Trail for a one-mile walk to Lake Solitude and White Ledges. The Solitude Trail then links to several trails, notably the popular Andrew Brook Trail and the steeper Newbury Trail, both heading eastward, and to the M-S Greenway as it heads south along Sunapee Ridge toward Pillsbury State Park.

Every August, Mount Sunapee is host to the week-long League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's Fair, billed as "the oldest craft fair in America".

Visitors can enjoy fishing, boating, swimming and picnicking at the Mount Sunapee State Park beach, also known as Newbury Beach, just off the traffic circle at the entrance to the state park. The beach has a store, canoe and kayak rentals, a playground, and a new bathhouse. A boat launch is available with some restrictions. Pets are not allowed on the beach.
