If your lodging or campsite does not have access to the lake, head to this small beach on the serene Wentworth Lake. Much smaller but much less developed than Winnipesaukee, Wentworth Lake offers all the same opportunities for swimming, picnicking, paddling and fishing. No pets.
The park is open for recreation in the off season and visitors are welcome, but the grounds are not staffed.
