Big Squam Lake, New Hampshire's second-largest lake, is set comfortably in the state's Lakes region. Dotted with the historic houses, stunning foliage, and incredible views, Big Squam Lake attracts visitors from miles around. Squam Lake is rich in history, a fact illustrated by its name. Originally called Keeseenunknipee by the Abenaki Nation, the name meant "goose lake in the highlands." Around 1779 the white settlers changed the name to Kusumpy, Kesumpe or Casumpa . In the 1800's, the Abenaki Indians overruled and renamed the lake Asquam, meaning "water." In the early 1900's, the lake's name was shortened to simply Squam Lake.

Squam Lake is perhaps best known for its beautiful vistas. Towering pines, crystal waters, flowering bushes, and swooping birds decorate the horizon in summertime. Cooler temperatures bring brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges, and later paint the entire region in white purity. For those unaccustomed to such natural beauty, Squam Lake is truly an unexpected treat for the eyes. After you've seen the splendor of Big Squam Lake from the land, it's time to test your lake legs and explore from a different point of view. The lake is home to 28 islands large enough to be named, in addition to myriad others. You may choose to bring your own boat or rent one here at the lake, as boating is a must. As if given a key to a magical portal, breathtaking scenes await you around every corner. Graceful loons, trees reflected on still waters, deer grazing, fish jumping, and so many more peaceful nature scenes await you. Take your camera and your binoculars, and prepare for a day that you will never forget.
Big Squam Lake is an area of great beauty and warm hearts. You will be welcomed here with open arms, the lake will lure you to her shores, and the scenery will charm you so much, that you may never want to leave!
