White Lake State Park offers some of the best swimming in the White Mountain region. The park lies along the shore of White Lake, an example of a typical glacial lake. During the Ice Age, glacial ice was buried beneath glacial till or debris. When the ice melted, a depression was created which gradually filled with water. Guests are welcome to enjoy a leisurely walk around the lake on a well-maintained footpath while looking for loons or signs of beaver activity, try their hand at the good trout fishing the lake provides, or check out one of our types of boat rentals. The park offers a day-use area, group areas, and a campground with family campsites as well as youth group sites.
