We took a nature walk here and visited the Lake. The site is beautiful and a nice retreat from all of the tourist-traps in town.

was all snow covered but its a great walking trail. always a nice little venture. came out a few years back in the fall and it was beautiful!

We have been to this area of New Hampshire several times, and for some reason, never visited Echo Lake State Park. What a lovely surprise. I came back to view Cathedral Ledge in the fall, and decided to check it out. As you enter and drive North through town on White Mountain Highway, turn left onto River Road. (There is... More

We loved visiting Echo Lake State Park. We walked around the lake and enjoyed it. We watched as climbers scaled the nearby rock face. We were nearly alone on the day we visited. Great place for a picnic, I am sure!

For $6 per adult, you can experience a wonderful swim in this peaceful little lake, surrounded by Cathedral and White Horse Ledges. And for zero dollars, you can park the car and get out and hike Cathedral Ledge before or after a day of shopping the outlet shops in town. I've been coming here for 13 years now and I'm... More

We picnicked at the park, lots of tables and barbecues, and then the girls began their hike. Hubby and I came back and forth, the fee is good for the whole day, and enjoyed... More

In the trees there are hibachi bbq's - so bring charcoal and have a bbq! There are trails around the lake, which we didn't do because they're not stroller friendly, but we will definitely... More

If you are looking for a nice "beach" day in North Conway, this is a great choice. Sandy, safe, shallow lake's edge, with outstanding view of the mountains and rock face ledges. It's only about 2 miles from the center of North Conway. Plenty of lake front shore, picnic tables in the shade, and a lifeguard on duty. Restroom available... More
