Beaches

     Some 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. Visitors 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.

 
   Just off the main north - south corridor, residents and tourists enjoy the scenic beach at Chocorua Lake. The lake lies in the shadow of Mt. Chocorua, named after the Pequawket indian chieftain. 

Enjoy the Ossipee town beach located on historic Duncan Lake. President Grover Cleveland spent summers here at the Acorn Lodge. Swim at the beach or fish the fabulous trout lake.
