Do you still have to pay admission to get past the gate?
As someone else stated the answer is No and the reason being is it is under Lakes Region Conservation Trust as are a few other areas in the Lakes Region. From everything I have read and understand all the areas are free to a certain point. They can charge you to tour the castle but not to enter the grounds. Another area in the trust is on Ossipee Mt Rd that you can hike up and view the Mts from. It is privately owned land but they can not stop you from going on it. It has beautiful views of Squam Lake and the Sandwich Range.
