Granite Lake, reservoir in Cheshire County, New Hampshire, United States of America
Granite Lake is a reservoir in Cheshire County covering roughly 238 acres. The water is known for its clarity and is considered one of the deepest bodies of water in New Hampshire.
The lake was created as a reservoir to store water and support the local area. The Granite Lake Association was founded in 1949 to promote recreation and protect the natural environment.
The name refers to granite formations in the surrounding area. Locals and visitors use the shoreline as a place to connect with nature and experience the quietness of the landscape.
The shoreline offers access for boaters, swimmers, and people who want to walk along the water's edge. Before entering or leaving the lake, boats should be cleaned, drained, and dried to prevent invasive species from spreading.
A private island owned by the association serves as a nesting site for bald eagles and is kept in its natural state. Loons previously nested there, but changed conditions over time.
