Attitash Lake

Attitash Lake is a 373-acre extension of Great Pond, situated about a mile and a half northeast of Merrimack City. Due to the area's sand and gravelly makeup, aquatic vegetation are generally absent from the water's surface save at the entrance and outflow coves. The seashore has been transformed almost entirely into residential neighborhoods.

Attitash Lake in Essex County attracts visitors and residents from all around Massachusetts during the summer. There are homes, boat docks, and two wonderful beaches all around the lovely lake. The lake is one of the best places in the state for fishing because it provides year-round chances. Boating, swimming, and other water sports are popular during the warm months of the year.

Fishing & Boating Access provides access to parking and ramps at the lake's edge for fishermen and boaters. Travel to Merrimac Town Forest for a beautiful hike in the woods after a day on the lake. It is worthwhile to explore the Long Hill Trail, Red Oak Hill Trail, and Cobbler's Brook Trail.

Location: on the border of Merrimac, Massachusetts and Amesbury, Massachusetts
