Description

Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on Saturday, August 23rd for a guided hike of Five Finger Point along the shoreline of Squam Lake. Five Finger Point trail is an easy 2.7 mile loop trail with several beaches and waterfront views to explore. Participants are encouraged to bring a lunch to enjoy by the water together and, weather permitting, go for a swim in the lake. We will meet at the parking lot located on Pinehurst Road in Holderness, NH, 0.7 miles from NH-113 and 70 yards beyond the entrance to Rockywold Deephaven Camps. We will begin at 10 AM and return around 1 PM. 

This hike is open to all. Children must be accompanied by an adult. This route is an easy difficulty. Please bring appropriate gear for hiking, including footwear and clothing for the weather conditions. Participants should bring a lunch and enough water for a ~2 hour hike. Depending on weather, participants can swim on the beaches so bring swimsuits and towels if interested. The hike will be led by LRCC AmeriCorps member Danielle Dexter.
