About Crystal Lake

Crystal Lake is a small lake located in Enfield New Hampshire. It is 1.6 Mile long and .7 miles at its maximum width.

About the Upper Valley

New Hampshire's Upper Valley is located east of the Connecticut River with breathtaking vistas and the dense woods of the White Mountains, and encompassing many skiways. Serene lakes are dotted throughout the small towns and villages across the region. New Hampshire's close neighbor across the river to the west, and partner in what is known as the Upper Valley region, is the state of Vermont, with its signature farms and valleys, and the verdant Green Mountains. The 40-mile stretch of riverfront on the New Hampshire side of the river consists of 22 towns and over 200 villages, from Orford in the north to Cornish in the south. The main interstate provides a quick route up and down the valley and winds along the Connecticut River.

The region's towns reflect New England's rich history as it embraced modernity and moved away from its agrarian roots over the years. You'll find quaint, vintage structures, historic sites, and museums displaying relics from New Hampshire's past dating back a few centuries. Among the many bridges that connect New Hampshire's towns to Vermont, is the Cornish Bridge, one of the longest covered bridges in the U.S. The area is home to several miles of the Appalachian Trail and the well-known Ivy League School, Dartmouth College.
