It is a lake located in New Hampshire right outside of Holderness. It is over 3,000 acre lake mantained by the Squam Lake Association. Squam Lake was originally called Keeseenunknipee which ment "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 1800’s, the lake was given another Abenaki name, Asquam, which means water. Finally, in the early 1900’s, Asquam was shortened to its present version, Squam.
SquamLake is New Hampshire's second largest lake, offering unspoiled beauty, magnificent mountain scenery and abundant opportunities for the active visitor.
Squam is a 7,200 acre lake with 65 miles of shoreline to explore and 10 miles of open waterways in which to sail, motor, paddle or fish.
The lake borders the towns of Ashland, Center Harbor, Holderness, Moultonborough and Sandwich, all of which have adopted zoning regulations to protect the state's most sought after clear water lake.
SquamLakes is known as one of the most peaceful and pristine in the country.
SquamLakes, located 40 miles north of Concord, are natural, spring-fed bodies of water consisting of a small and large lake connected by a channel.
It is not by accident that the SquamLakes area is in pristine condition, but due to the unique efforts of dedicated organizations and individuals, who believe that preserving the watershed is essential for the public’s enjoyment of this beautiful area.
