About Squam Lake
Squam Lake captures the essence of any vacationer’s dream – unspoiled beauty, clear fresh waters, magnificent mountain scenery and ample opportunities for the active and not-so-active visitor. The Squam Lakes area is a combination unequalled in New Hampshire.

For the outdoorsman, there are 65 miles of shoreline to explore, dozens of islands to circumvent and 10 miles of open waterway to sail, motor or paddle in. There is outstanding bass, salmon, and trout fishing in these cool, crystal clear waters.

Off the lake, one will find miles of hiking trails crisscrossing the Squam Range one of the most scenic range of mountains in New Hampshire. Excellent golf courses and a variety of family attractions are close by. And for the less sports-minded there are numerous gift and antique shops as well as dining sports that range from casual to gourmet. The Squam Lakes area is at the geographic center of New Hampshire making it the perfect home base for discovering all of New Hampshire and New England.

Although the Squam Lakes area is noted for its quiet beauty, there was a season during 1980 when the serenity was invaded. Hollywood discovered Squam Lake and decided it was a perfect location for the filming of “On Golden Pond.” The area was charged with the excitement of playing host to the likes of Katherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Jane Fonda – as well as crowds of visitors who flocked to the area to try to catch a glimpse of these famous personalities.

The excitement of that summer has long since died, but the interest generated by the film for Squam Lake lives on as local residents are often reminded by the many area visitors who still ask for information about “On Golden Pond.” From Squam Lake website
