Nice small Lake Beach with a large parking lot, seasonal lifeguards. Great for kayaking, fishing and beautiful nature trails along the lake and up to Bachelder Park at the top of Powow Hill. The views at the top are beautiful, can see the ocean and all the way into Maine!

Only open to the residents and whomever they come with in their vehicle. There is someone checking nearby to make sure the count does not get to high. The water was mucky and filled with seaweed and other fungi. There is little to no shade, no picnic tables and only two benches. It is mixed grass and sand. It gets crowded easily.

I loved this lake when I lived right down the street. My ex-husband and our former best friend fish there every single day in the summer. They would bring home some really nice Bass. I loved it because the little fishing hole if you walk over the bridge and around the corner you will find this pristine little spot. And I would bring a cooler a book and some music while the guys would fish. We did both day and night trips there. Absolute pristine hole in the wall. so now that he is my ex-husband I will tell the entire world where that fishing spot is. Enjoy!!!!

Great place for a kayak. It connects to the Pow Wow river and goes form at least a few miles.

A good place to out a kayak or paddleboard in the water. Hard to find a place to hang a hammock, but made it work. Lots of lake weed which makes swimming undesirable..

I felt like I was in prison. The guards didn’t let the kids fart without blowing a whistle! Nobody can have good time with those rules there! We will seek another swimming hole this season!

Beautiful view, always a breeze through the shade trees. Lifeguarding till 5, you can bring a small grill and have a cook out and its roped off area for swimming. I have been going there since I was a kid. Love it!

Great little beach area on the lake for a hot summer day dip, there is a trail off to one side that will takeyou North along the East side of the lakeup towards the New Hampshire border and a swim in the lake on your way back is a great idea, usually plenty of free prking and usually plenty of street spots as well, The ice-cream man makes stops there st least once a day through the summer, but Ive never seen the little canteen building in operation, so pack alunch and some drinks, or plan on a short walk to Vermettes for some supplies ;)

This is a good place for kayaking. We have our own but you can also rent them on the weekend. You can also rent paddle boards as well. There is a beach for swimming, suitable for young children.
