Twenty-two miles northeast of Meredith off NH 16, you'll find some of New Hampshire's finest swimming in White Lake, a pristine glacial lake whose origins date back to the last ice age. The state park has 200 tent sites (available late May to mid-October; with/without water views $30/25) on over 600 acres, plus swimming and hiking trails.
