White Lake

Despite being only 125 acres in size, White Lake is one of the best lakes to visit in New Hampshire and is home to the only oceanfront camping in the White Mountains. The day-use picnic area's tables and many of the campground's 203 campsites are shaded by towering pine trees and provide views of the lake.

The famous pointed top of Mt. Chocorua is visible across the trees on the opposite coast, providing one of the best views of any beach in the state from the long, sandy beachfront. A trail through the woods encircles the lake, passing kettle bogs and beaver activity indicators.

Rentable canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards are available by the hour, and fishing is also very popular on the lake. Also in White Lake State Park, a 72-acre stand of endangered pitch pine trees has been designated a National Natural Landmark. Enjoy well-maintained footpath treks around the lake as you search for Loons or evidence of beaver activity. The campground makes a wonderful home base from which to explore the local attractions.
