Echo Lake State Park

Lake

Intermediate

A 15.7-acre lake at the foot of White Horse Ledge, with Cathedral Ledge rising just to the north and a small sand beach at the state park's day-use area. It is a short, scenic swim rather than a distance venue, and there are no lifeguards, so bring a partner. Parking is limited on fine weekends; reserve a day-use spot online up to 30 days ahead.
