Echo Lake State Park Title

Located in close proximity from the shopping mecca of North Conway, Echo Lake is a great place to take the family for a swim and picnic. Amenities offered at the park include a bathhouse and picnic tables. A scenic trail around the lake provides great views of sheer, 700-foot Cathedral Ledge which towers over the lake. A mile-long auto road and hiking trails lead to the top of Cathedral Ledge where views across the Saco River Valley to the White Mountains can be enjoyed. Both Cathedral and nearby White Horse ledges are popular rock and ice climbing walls.

The park is open weekends only starting Memorial Day weekend (May 24 - 26), then full-time from June 21 through September 1, 2008, weather permitting. Facilities are open from 9:00am - 6:00pm, and gates close at 8:00pm. Check upon arrival for the lifeguard schedule.

Admission is $4 for adults; $2 for children ages 6-11; children ages 5 and under and NH residents age 65 and over are admitted free.
