White Lake State Park
Route 16
Tamworth, NH 03886Some of the best swimming in the White Mountain region can
be found in 140-acre White Lake State Park in Tamworth. The park lies along the
shore of White Lake, which is an example of a typical glacial lake. During the
Ice Age, glacial ice was buried beneath glacial till or debris. When the ice
melted, a depression was created which gradually filled with water. Guests are
welcome to enjoy a leisurely walk around the lake on a well-maintained foot path
while looking for loons or signs of beaver activity, or to try their hand at the
good trout fishing the lake provides.
The day-use area of the park is open weekends only starting May 27, then daily
from June 24 through September 4, 2006. Hours of operation are 8:30am - 5:00pm,
weather permitting. Admission is $3 for adults; $1 for children ages 6-11;
children ages 5 and under and NH residents age 65 and over are admitted free. |
