Squam Lake is a lake located in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, United States, south of the White Mountains, straddling the borders of Grafton, Carroll, and Belknap counties. The largest town center on the lake is Holderness. The lake is located northwest of much larger Lake Winnipesaukee. It drains via a short natural channel into Little Squam Lake, and then through a dam at the head of the short Squam River into the Pemigewasset at Ashland. Covering 6,791 acres , Squam is the second-largest lake located entirely in New Hampshire. Squam Lake was originally called Keeseenunknipee, which meant the goose lake in the highlands. The white settlers that followed shortened the name to Casumpa, Kusumpy and/or Kesumpe around 1779. In the early 19th century, the lake was given another Abenaki name, Asquam, which means water. Finally, in the early 20th century, Asquam was shortened to its present version, Squam. The 1981 film On Golden Pond was filmed in the town of Center Harbor on Squam Lake. There are two tour boat services on the lake, both based in Holderness. One is Experience Squam, a private charter, and the other is the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. Both services show filming locations and items of natural significance.Squam Lake is a nesting site for common loons and is a good place to see them in breeding plumage during the summer months. Bald eagles and great blue herons are also known to nest on the lake. The lake is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, lake trout, lake whitefish, smallmouth and largemouth bass, chain pickerel, horned pout, and white perch.

Squam Lakes Fox Den powered by EXPLORE.org

A family of wild Red Foxes has raised kits in a den on the campus of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness, New Hampshire for three successive springs. In 2016 she reared 5 kits, in 2017 she reared 7 kits. This year she appeared with 9 kits on April 4. After more than two weeks of observations we were astonished on April 20, when we counted 11 kits. We can't believe that one female produced all these kits and we are puzzled why we have not seen all eleven until now.

Lucy Hikes the Rattlesnake Trail, Squam Lake, New Hampshire

Rattlesnake Trail, Squam Lake, New Hampshire lakes region
West Rattlesnake trail
The Rattlesnakes are two small rocky mountains on the NW side of Squam Lake which provide excellent views of the Lakes Region. (There are also about 8 Rattlesnake Hills and 5 Rattlesnake Mountains in New Hampshire, the most notable of which is in Rumney. Few if any of them house actual rattlesnakes.)

There are many old bridle paths in New Hampshire from the pre-automobile days of genteel summer vacations with travel by train from major cities. While the most famous Old Bridle Path ascends Mount Lafayette, this one is the easiest trail up West Rattlesnake, and receives heavy use from summer camps and other visitors. The trail has been heavily rebuilt with gravel and rock and log steps, and there is a donation box at the trailhead for those who wish to contribute

Experience Squam Lake A Trip Back In Time, Definitely A Slower Pace

Squam Lake is located in central New Hampshire. Squam is the second largest lake in the state just under 6800 acres. Towns around the lake include Ashland, Holderness, Sandwich, Center Harbor and Moultonborough. Not your typical lake, a much slower pace. Explore the open shoreline and islands by canoe or kayak. Squam Lake has miles of open shoreline with so many inlets and islands that the only way to get there is by boat – or maybe canoe. But that’s only the start of the fun… Sure, the human folk are warm and friendly, but most of your neighbors are bald eagles, moose, blue herons, loons, salmon, bass and more – So bring your fishing pole, some binoculars and by all means a camera – because the memories you’ll make here are priceless.

Ashland New Hampshire (NH) Real Estate Tour

-- Tour Ashland, NH neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.

Ashland, New Hampshire, once the southwest section of Holderness, was settled in 1763 and incorporated as a separate town in 1868. It was named in honor of Henry Clay, for his birthplace in Ashland, Virginia, and his estate in Kentucky.

Predominantly agricultural in nature for much of its history, Ashland saw the establishment of an inudustrial center at Holderness Village beginning in about 1771, with a sawmill, gristmill and several factories established along the 112-foot falls that connects the Squam and Pemigewasset Rivers. Today, Ashland offers a bounty of historic and rural scenery, a convenient location at the juncture of the White Mountains and the Lakes Region, and boundless opportunities for recreation and leisure. Ashland includes the geographic center of the state, located just west of Lake Winnipesaukee. For other town tours visit . For towns in NH visit . For NH relocation information go to .
