Chocorua Lake, Lake in Carroll County, United States
Chocorua Lake spans 220 acres with a maximum depth of 30 feet, featuring Mount Chocorua as a commanding backdrop along Route 16 in New Hampshire.
The Chocorua Lake Conservancy, established in 1968, has protected 95 percent of the watershed through conservation covenants and successfully banned motorboats in the early 1970s.
The Tamworth Outing Club started organizing sled dog races on the frozen lake surface in 1937, establishing the oldest sprint dog sled competition in the United States.
The lake provides 5,800 feet of public shoreline access through two main areas: the Grove by Narrows Bridge and a 17-acre section called the Island.
Water quality testing since 1978 classifies Chocorua Lake as oligotrophic, indicating high clarity and low nutrient levels optimal for swimming and trout fishing.

New Hampshire reveals a land where the White Mountains have shaped the skyline for millennia. Between northern coniferous forests and southeastern Atlantic coasts, this New England state features waterfalls cascading over granite, glacial passes carved 15,000 years ago, and industrial villages embedded in red stone. Archaeological sites, lighthouses guiding ships on Piscataqua, and estates where early 20th-century artists shaped American identity await discovery. Trails wind through gorges, along lakes reflecting peaks, and through forests where remnants of old foundries remain. Autumn light illuminates maple trees, winter turns ravines into ice amphitheaters, and spring causes waterfalls to roar. From Mount Monadnock to the Shoals Islands, New Hampshire offers a varied geography where each hill, waterfall, and stone bears witness to a deeply rooted natural and human story within the landscape of New England.
