Great walk around the lake! Sometimes you can view climbers on Cathedral Ledge. Great swimming lake in warmer weather.

It is a state park so there is a chagre for parking your car and using the facilities, the fee is reasonable. The area is a good spot for nice easy walks or more intense hikes. Great views of the mountains.

A visit to Echo Lake State Park in mid-September is a best kept secret: It's well before the leaf peepers are crowding the roads, but the leaves are in the process of changing, so there's an early treat in store for the nature lover. We took the road up to the hiking trail to Cathedral Ledge and it was an... More

In all the visits I've made to N Conway, I just went to the park for the first time. It is gorgeuos! I loved it! My kids loved it! It's like being in a lagoon. Surrounded by lush, green trees with Cathedral Ledge in front of you. If you look hard enough you can see rock climbers.

I love this park. The lake is wonderfully clear, albeit the water is sometimes a little cool. Swimming area is roped off and not over my kids heads (~4" or less).
