Wellington State Park Title

Some of the best swimming in the White Mountain region can be found in 140-acre White Lake State Park in Tamworth. The park lies along the shore of White Lake, which is 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 foot path while looking for loons or signs of beaver activity, or to try their hand at the good trout fishing the lake provides.

The day-use area of the park is open weekends only starting  Memorial Day weekend (May 24 - 26), then full-time, 8:30am - 5:00pm, from June 14 through September 1, 2008, weather permitting. Gates are open from 8:00am - 8:00 pm. Lifeguards are on duty daily from June 21 through September 1.

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.
