Squam Lake
The 1981 film On Golden Pond was filmed on Squam Lake.
Squam Lake is a lake located in central New Hampshire south of the White Mountains, straddling the borders of Grafton, Carroll, and Belknap Counties. The largest town on the lake is Holderness. The lake is located northwest of much larger Lake Winnipesaukee.
It drains via a short natural channel into Little Squam Lake, and then through a dam at the head of the short Squam River into the Pemigewasset at Ashland. Covering 6,791 acres (27.5 km²)[1], Squam is the second-largest lake located entirely in New Hampshire.
Squam Lake was originally called Keeseenunknipee, which meant "the goose lake in the highlands". The white settlers that followed shortened the name to Casumpa, Kusumpy and/or Kesumpe around 1779. In the early 1800s, the lake was given another Abenaki name, Asquam, which means "water". Finally, in the early 1900s, Asquam was shortened to its present version, Squam.

When we say, "at water's edge", it's not just real estate nomenclature...it's for real. When we say charming and well kept, that's not Realtor-eze either...it's the truth. Now picture yourself in your own cozy cottage looking out over Squam Lake (no, not just any lake...SQUAM lake), the phone disconnected, no TV, no computer, no cell phone or iPad...just you, your family, and the golden pond experience right before your eyes, with all the cares of the world a million miles away. Well, what are you waiting for? Get out of that chair, grab the kids, and head on up to Squam, a place where memories are made, and families actually find time for each other.
