Come join us for a summer day of fun, nature, and connection!
We'll start with an easy hike around Echo Lake – a 0.9-mile loop trail that's perfect for all experience levels. Expect beautiful views of Cathedral Ledge, plenty of birdwatching opportunities, and a relaxing stroll along the water’s edge. (Note: No dogs allowed on the trail.)
After the hike, we'll set up at the beach for a picnic and a swim. Bring your lunch, a picnic blanket, your bathing suit, and sunscreen! It’s a great chance to socialize, unwind, and enjoy the stunning jade-green waters with the dramatic cliffs as a backdrop.
Beach Info:
* Large sand beach with designated swimming areas
* Lifeguards are on duty, but free swimming beyond the buoys is generally allowed at your own risk
* Bathhouse closes at 4 PM
Fees:
* $4 for adults (ages 12+)
* Free for seniors (65+)
Pro Tip: The beach gets busy, so carpooling is encouraged if you can. Questions? Call the park office at 603-356-2672.

that picture looks like Echo Lake in Conway (Cathedral ledges in the Background), not in Franconia. Looks like you grabbed the wrong picture but plan on having this event in Franconia?
