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. It is 401-acre lake and is located in Grafton County which is part of western New Hampshire. The water of Crystal Lake is, as the name implies, crystal clear, and just perfect for swimming. You can swim anywhere on the lake and you will see many people swimming from shore or jumping off their boats in the middle of the lake. There is a sand bar at the far end of the lake that is a perfect spot to anchor your boat, hop out into crystal clear water that is only 3-4 feet deep and cool off. You will see many boats anchored there on a warm day enjoying the warmer shallow water.
Crystal Lake has a small boat launch you can launch your boat at and offers easy access to this small NH lake. Crystal Lake allows power boats, Jet Skis, and you will also see paddle boarders and kayakers. There is ample parking for your truck and your boat trailer after you launch your boat into the water from the Boat ramp on Algonquin road. Also, most of the Summer days there is a ‘Lake Host” who will examine your boat for Milfoil to protect the crystal clear water from this invasive plant.
Fishing is one of the most popular activities on Crystal Lake. According the NH Fish and Game, Crystal lake is classified as a cold and warm water place to fish, with observed species including brown trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, horned pout, black crappie, and rock bass.
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. With New Hampshire's majestic scenery, the plentitude of trails, ski slopes, and mountain vistas, anyone searching for a peaceful, quiet outdoor lifestyle in a small New England town, will find New Hampshire's Upper Valley most appealing.
